and went on to appear on many networks, facebook live, radio, and youtube sessions to inform the community in Spanish how to stay safe from #COVID19 @Duke_FamMed @dukeobgyn @DrBevGray @DukeHealth @StethoscopeOn

Our biggest success is rooted in uniting clinicians, health departments, health systems and government together with the community in safe conversations to improve health. La importancia de identidad y dignidad

and in the amazing work of our #Latinas #Latinx #Latinos #Hispanic comunidad, members of @LATIN19NC Who never stop to make sure each person in the community is being heard #resilienceatwork #SiSePuede

We use a syndemic approach to the #CovidPandemic we research, look at workforce, education, and #populationhealth needs and assets. We hear stories and invite decision-makers to understand life from a #latinx perspective, and together we take action to improve health

We address #mentalhealth, #publichealth, #Legal health, #immigration and #SDOH. We inform health oficials and work to improve policies that affect our #comunidadlatina and other historically marginalized populations. #Collaboration is our way

We are organizers, health officials, doctors, psychologysts, nurses, community health workers, social workers, physician assistants, midwives, technologists, researchers, technitians, administrators, lawyers & teachers, chaplains, faith leaders. People working together #Salud
