We reflect on the incredible people and organizations that we have presented at HealthCare UnTold this last year. HealthCare UnTold has highlighted over a thousand cumulative years of health and community services by leaders who have made us healthier, stronger, and smarter. We have also recognized the work that so many of these individuals have led during the Covid-19 Pandemic, advocating for and ensuring that people's basic needs were being met and that Covid-19 testing and access to vaccines were being provided during these challenging times.
Communities leaders and nonprofits have provided advocacy, support and services to our most vulnerable communities before and during the pandemic.
We have been proud to share the stories of these individuals, many who experienced poverty and discrimination at a young age and were determined to change the world around them by creating organizations to provide services to thousands of families around the country.
Health Care is a broad field and encompasses the needs of individuals beyond a clinic or hospital; it includes ensuring healthy diets, affordable housing, good paying jobs, clean air and water, and sustainable environments.
The Latino/Latinx communities have been significantly impacted by Covid-19 and community organizations and leaders have worked tremendously hard to save lives and to protect and promote health to hundreds of thousands around the country.
We honor our workers, our organizations, and our community leaders in their dedicated efforts to keep our communities thriving. Gracias to all who have contributed this last year to HealthCare UnTold!
