About

Recognizing that many individuals have and are yet experiencing barriers to accessing health care, LHO has provided interpreters for Spanish speaking individuals and families in health care environments as well as legal and social service. We currently offer outreach and education programs on HIV/AIDS, Diabetes, Breast Cancer Awareness, Second Hand-Smoke and other chronic and communicable diseases.

“LHO’s services have been available to all people in Milwaukee and soon to offer services on a statewide basis, regardless of ethnic background or income.”

Beyond those direct services to individuals, LHO has been involved in numerous initiatives that have promoted access to health care for Spanish speaking individuals including the distribution of printing materials about various health topics and sponsoring focus groups to address specific health care issues.

LHO’s services have been available to all people in Milwaukee and soon to offer services on a statewide basis, regardless of ethnic background or income. Clients served have included individuals with origins from many Spanish speaking countries including Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, South and Central American countries, as well as African Americans, Caucasians, and people of Asian origin.
