The latest edition of ACU’s official Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved highlights several topics concerning emerging adults and pediatric patients, clinical care, and minoritized populations.

Also included is a supplemental issue sponsored by the Office of Minority Health (OMH) representing work supported by the office in the form of grants.
