title: A model to improve the utilization of health and social services in Latino communities.
abstract: There are two salient issues beginning to impact drastically on health and social services in the nation: nativist anti-immigrant hysteria among the populace and President Clinton's national health care proposal. This article is neither an examination of the nativist anti-immigrant hysteria nor of the merits of the President's health care plan. Rather, the focus here is to propose a model to improve the utilization of health and social services to Latinos despite nativism and outcome of the final health care program.
