The United States healthcare system plays a very important role in everyone’s lives. Americans rely on the system for their overall health and well-being. It is imperative that all Americans have equal access to and quality of healthcare services and healthcare should not differentiate between minorities and nonminorities. The Hispanic population does not have or receive equitable healthcare in comparison to their nonHispanic white counterparts. Due to extreme gaps in quality of and access to care, Hispanics are at risk to endure worse health outcomes. This review dives into defining the necessary definitions of healthcare and racial disparities, looks at what causes these disparities and gaps in care, what outcomes are more prevalent in the Hispanic American population because of the inequities, what solutions are already in place to combat these issues and finally, what solutions need to be implemented at the administration level of healthcare organizations to better treat the Hispanic population in the ways in which they deserve.
