#SaludTues Tweetchat 9/5/23: Building a Healthier Future for Latinos

Latinos face many challenges to good health.

Equitable access to healthcare is often out of reach. Discrimination is a reality for many, along with financial toxicity, limited health food, and unstable housing, transportation, and childcare.

But we have an opportunity to create healthy changes.

Let’s use #SaludTues on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2023, to share how everyone – from healthcare to schools to local decision-makers – can get involved in building healthier communities for Latinos and all people as we near Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15)!
