Schools in Pueblo County are in greater need of access to school-based health care compared with the rest of the state, according to a report from the Colorado Health Institute.
The report conducted an analysis on the needs assessments of health care access on school campuses across Colorado.
The authors of the report found schools that serve predominately students of color and are located in rural areas and underserved urban communities had a greater need for health care access compared with schools that are predominately white, due to systemic racial disparities and policies that have historically marginalized them. We looked through school data of all the regions and counties in Colorado. The key takeaways from the data is we see the need for expanded access for care in rural Colorado, stark disparities in urban Colorado as well as racial ethnic disparities, said Julia Char Gilbert, research analyst at the Colorado Health Institute, who co-authored the report.
Cancel Culture targets largest Hispanic-owned food company in the U.S.
Goya Foods is the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the U.S. It’s the premier source for over 2,500 authentic Latin cuisine products.
Founded in 1936 by Spanish immigrants Don and Caroline Prudencio Unanue, it literally started as a mom-and-pop store. Goya now generates $1.5 billion in annual sales. Goya employs more than 4,000 people in 26 facilities in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.
Last July, Twitter users called for a boycott of Goya food products after its CEO Robert Unanue praised President Trump while at the White House. Unanue, the grandson of the company’s founders, has been Goya’s CEO since 2004.
The Hispanic organizations say Unanue’s remarks “dangerously perpetuate falsehoods that were at the core of the criminal assault on the nation’s capital" and an "affront" to millions of Latino voters.
