According to the Pew Research Center, more than a fourth of all Latino adults in the United States lack a usual health care provider.

The public is invited to a free public forum on Latino Health in San Antonio Tuesday night.

The UT Health San Antonio School of Nursing is hosting the event.

Topics range from access to health care, issues for Latinos within the health care system, and the stigmas some Latinos face when they seek help.

Anyone is welcome to attend the free forum  at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Menger Hotel.
