Abstract

Barriers to accessing primary, specialty, and preventive healthcare among rural Hispanic immigrant residents in the United States (U.S) are examined using ecological systems theory and a capabilities approach perspective. National and rural Latino population demographics are described with a focus on healthcare obstacles frequently encountered by rural Hispanic populations. Possible systemic solutions for accessible and culturally competent medical care to address rural access disparities among rural Latino populations are presented.
