"With the significant increase in the Hispanic population, it is becoming more essential for pharmacists to be able to communicate with these patients. Therefore, resources like this book could be of great use not just to the pharmacist, but to the patient as well, by decreasing their stress over being able to receive adequate help when they need it."
