Alignment Health Expands Bilingual Care for Hispanic Seniors in Arizona

Alignment Health Plan partners with Suvida Healthcare to expand bilingual primary care access for Hispanic Medicare Advantage members in Arizona's Pima and Maricopa counties.

This partnership addresses critical healthcare disparities affecting Hispanic seniors, who represent nearly one-third of Arizona's population. Cultural and linguistic barriers have historically prevented many older adults from receiving adequate medical care, with one in five seniors reporting they don't receive needed care due to these challenges. By providing culturally competent, bilingual healthcare through neighborhood centers, this collaboration improves health outcomes for a rapidly growing demographic while serving as a model for how healthcare systems can better serve diverse communities. For Hispanic families with aging relatives, this means access to providers who understand their cultural context, potentially leading to better medication adherence, preventive care, and overall quality of life during senior years.
