Latino Health Access Secures $16M Grant to Empower Underserved Communities

Latino Health Access, a revered nonprofit organization founded in 1993 in Santa Ana, California, is proud to announce a remarkable funding achievement of $16 million. This vital investment will fuel our efforts to address pressing public health challenges faced by uninsured and underserved families in our community. For decades, Latino Health Access has dedicated itself to reaching vulnerable populations where they live—be it in laundromats, garages, or churches—and now, with our recently opened headquarters, we aim to deepen our impact even further. The funding will primarily support our innovative training programs for promotores, or community workers, who play a pivotal role in educating their neighbors on critical health issues, including diabetes, breast cancer, obesity, domestic violence, and parenting. These programs are directly shaped by the needs expressed by residents, emphasizing our commitment to a participatory and community-driven approach. As we integrate this funding into our initiatives, we invite individuals and partners who share our vision of health equity to join us. Whether participating in our morning walks, attending afternoon exercise classes, or visiting our community park and center, everyone has a role to play in building a healthier community. At Latino Health Access, we firmly believe that healthcare is a human right, and with this substantial funding, we are one step closer to realizing our mission to improve the quality of life and health for those most in need. Together, let us champion health for all and foster a society where every individual can thrive.
