Expert: State's growing Hispanic workers aren't getting health care

By
ATHENS - A public health professor from Columbia University says the state&#39;s growing Hispanic population is not getting adequate health care. <br> <br> Marilyn Aguirre-Molina said some Latino immigrants don&#39;t get help because they don&#39;t have enough money or they&#39;re in the country illegally. <br> <br> She said others use the emergency room as their primary health care provider because language or cultural hurdles prevent their needs from being met. <br> <br> Aguirre-Molina gave the keynote address Monday to mark the start of a three-day conference called ``Salud! Addressing Latino Health Challenges.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The conference is being held at the University of Georgia.
