Several issues exist that create a challenge in providing health care industries services for one of the country's fastest growing ethnic groups. The language barrier is one of the more obvious hurdles in intercepting issues early. Parents' miscommunication in acquiring healthcare for their children invariably leads to poor outcomes, particularly given the sizable amount of families lacking adequate health insurance. There is a shortage of competent professionals who can provide treatment to Hispanics families and recent immigrants due to the disproportionately small number of minority mental health professionals compared to the country's total minority population. Of critical importance is the lack of understanding of how medical issues are perceived within different ethnic communities and their potential associated stigmas, which can effect how easily or willing those in need of medical care will seek assistance.

Another is the management of different service organizations being less than ideally integrated. Any potential clients may seek help from the first provider they come in contact, and may become frustrated when it is insufficient to deal with more complex health care problems. This lack of cross-communication between different services can leave the interested party sometimes unaware of alternative options that would prove more beneficial. Our goal is to alleviate this disparity by establishing a primary health care situation that is community based and sensitive to examined stresses within specific ethnic communities. Programs must be located in geographically accessible areas with early intervention programs Other ameliorations include educational awareness of issues within ethnic communities that may be unknown by the majority of residents, as well as encouraging the interest of Hispanics potentially entering the health care field to create a more varied and diverse professional pool to assist under-served, 'high risk' communities.
