Community Engagement
Support at the state and county level will protect unvaccinated and partially vaccinated Latinos for the fall season when spread of the Delta variant is expected to intensify.
Today, LCH continues to build on this foundational approach by creating sustainable and authentic relationships with key stakeholders representing community voices at the local, regional, and state level. Through shared projects and commitment to the democratization of research, we work in partnership to address issues disproportionately affecting Latinx people in WA. We promote meaningful and sustainable improvements in our community's health and well-being through research informing culturally responsive practices and health policies.
We understand that Latinx people are a diverse and evolving community. We are committed to bringing this diversity to the forefront of our work while building a visionary organization to support Latino health for current and future generations.
The Latino Center for Health works closely with Schools within the Washington States, community-based organizations, and the public sector.
