SaludToday Tweetchat 2-18-14Salud America! and Community Commons invite you to a #GrowingHealthyChange Tweetchat about how to grow healthy change, from better food to more physical activity to healthier marketing, for Latino kids at 1 p.m. central (2 p.m. eastern) Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014.

Growing Healthy Change is a new website from Salud America! to empower healthy community changes—improved access to healthy food/physical activity, healthier marketing, etc.—for Latino kids locally and across the nation.

At the site, people can: map their school, city, county, state, or nation to see what changes are growing for Latino kids; find resources to start a change; watch and read about real-life “Salud Heroes” of change; and become a “Salud Hero” by uploading their own stories.
