UnidosUS Latinx Health Equity Summit
Our Latinx Health Equity Summit this year will focus on community-based achievements that seek to solve health disparities and advance health equity in the Latinx community across five issue areas including social and emotional wellbeing, food insecurity, healthcare access, All of Us research, and the COVID-19 response and recovery.
The Latinx Health Equity Summit will serve as a unique space to convene a broader and diverse network of Latinx leaders, experts, practitioners, and community-trusted messengers in the space of health who can share place-based practices.
To deepen and localize its impact, UnidosUS will be hosting the Latinx Health Equity Summit in Phoenix, Arizona this Fall. We aim to elevate programmatic and policy priorities and achievements that aim to improve the health and well-being of the Latinx community.
Join us and elevate the Latinx voice in informing, shaping, and advancing health equity as we continue to respond, recover, and restore a healthier and stronger path forward in 2023.
Objectives:
- Convene a broader audience and network of Latinx leaders, experts, practitioners, and trusted community messengers in health
- Elevate community and placed-based practices and achievements
- Share actionable steps and tools for community-based organizations and community health centers and key partner collaboration and investments
- Highlight concrete recommendations, lessons learned, and tools that consider intersectionality across social determinants of health
