In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, this webinar was presented by Latinos in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (La LiGaH). Launch this course for an overview of La LiGaH and examine current health disparities and health equity concerns in GI and hepatology for the Latino community.

La LiGaH is a recently established AGA Member Network with a mission to promote health equity within Hispanic/Latino communities. Its objectives include advancing scientific research and supporting the professional development of Hispanic/Latino gastroenterologists, hepatologists, scientists, and all individuals committed to meeting the GI and hepatology needs of the Hispanic/Latino population.
