Background
In 2009, Familias held its first Latino Health Equity Conference (LHEC) bringing together Promotores, community members, public health practitioners, researchers, policy makers and other experts to focus strategies for Latino health equity. The conference provides a forum to focus on individual and community issues addressing Latino health equity through research, programs, and policies.
2021 Latino Health Equity Conference:
Familias en Acción is proud to present our 12th annual Latino Health Equity Conference, “Me cuido, te cuido”. “Me cuido, te cuido”, prioritizes one’s health, the health of ones partners, and that of the community. This perspective cultivates and promotes values of mutual respect, acceptance, equality and empathy. This year’s virtual conference aims to broaden our knowledge and awareness on sexual health, sexuality, and HIV by leveraging the experiences of the Latino community. We will highlight community-driven initiatives that prevent new HIV infections, support Latinos living with HIV, and work towards ending cultural stigmas that impact Latino health.
