Welcome to Equity in Hispanic and Latino Health Initiative Page!

The data shows that most Hispanic and Latino older adults are managing multiple chronic conditions, yet many face disparities in accessing health care treatment and prevention services. Evidence-based health promotion programs can play a vital role in improving older adults’ physical and mental health, as well as their skills and confidence in managing ongoing health conditions. While chronic disease self-management education has expanded among Hispanic/Latino participants in recent years, there’s room to grow to ensure all older adults have the tools to age well.  

You are an integral part of the important work in advancing culturally competent health initiatives in Hispanic and Latino communities. The goal of this collaborative is to collectively promote culturally appropriate, practical, and adaptable best practices to support community-based organizations in advancing the accessibility of evidence-based programs in Hispanic and Latino communities.
