Salud Latina USF is a COPH lead, educational and research initiative targeting Spanish speaking communities in the U.S., Latin America, and around the world. The initiative began because Latinx communities have been one of the most affected by COVID-19. However, other health topics, such as cancer, domestic violence, economy, vaccine hesitancy, mental health, and gender inequality are discussed.
 
Each month Salud Latina USF conducts online webinars to discuss a different health topic, the conversation is also livestreamed on the COPH’s Facebook page. Audience questions are welcome. View previous episodes on the Salud Latina USF YouTube playlist and share widely!
