Empowering Change: Advancing Culturally Competent Health Initiatives in Hispanic and Latino Communities
Overview
Roundtable Discussion will focus on advancing strategies for effectively implementing and sustaining evidence-based health promotion programs in Hispanic/Latino communities. This project is funded by the Administration for Community Living through grant number 90CSSG0048.
The Roundtable Discussion will feature leaders with research-driven and practical insights on breaking down barriers to care and solutions for meeting the needs of Hispanic/Latino older adults.
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.
