Screening for ACEs and toxic stress and providing targeted, evidence-based interventions for toxic stress can improve efficacy and efficiency of health care, better support individual and family health and well-being, and reduce long-term health costs.

Latinx Physicians of California has been aware of the growing disparity between the number of Latinx health care providers and the growing number of Latinx patients, and we have partnered with Alliance in Mentorship/MíMentor and Latino Medical Students Association to address this issue since our founding in 2011. In April 2021, LPOC hosted its first Summit, a forum discussing California’s future health care workforce, increasing diversity and creating a stronger pipeline through college and medical school.
