This webpage contains links to informational resources that address Hispanic health issues and is updated on a regular basis.

Latinos represent the fastest growing segment of the population. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that, in the year 2005, there will be 38million Latinos in the U.S. Due to this boom in population growth there has been an increase in the number of publications that address Hispanic health and related socioeconomic issues.

The Hispanic Center of Excellence provides a variety of informational resources for faculty, residents and medical students interested in Hispanic health care issues or research resources to conduct investigations. This site is a way to help access some of the information readily available. Please be aware that this is not a comprehensive library and is not an end-all warehouse for these types of resources.
