Abstract:
Hispanics are attracted to North Carolina by a moderate climate, job opportunities, and low cost of living. There are approximately 230,000 living in the state. The once stereotypical image of Hispanic-as-migrant no longer is applicable, as many now work in construction, food service, and factories, as well as higher paying jobs, including engineering, medicine, and law. A statistical profile of the 1997 Hispanic population by counties is included.

Abstract:
How well Hispanics are able to access health care services is influenced by a number of factors. Inability to communicate in English limits knowledge of services and ability to communicate health needs. Many lack health insurance or other ways to pay for services. Others lack means of transportation, either personal or public, or are unfamiliar with how the health care system operates in America.
