‘They deserve what they need’: Santa Clara Co. recognizes need for Latino health center

Santa Clara County leaders are moving forward with the idea of building a Latino health and wellness center.

After an emotional budget debate on Tuesday last week, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved having county employees come back in June with options for how to proceed with a facility and whether there should be multiple locations. Supervisors want community input and won’t make a final decision until the Latino Health Needs Assessment collects data from residents on health access gaps countywide.
