#SaludTues Tweetchat 9/6/16: How Faith Based Organizations Can Impact Latino Health

Share On Social!

Faith is a big part of Latino culture.

But what can churches and faith-based groups do to help improve health?

With more than 90% of Latinos affiliated with a faith-based group, these places can serve as ample grounds for promoting healthy lifestyles, connecting congregants to social services, sharing recreational facilities, and more.

How can you help faith communities be healthy?

Join us for a #SaludTues chat this Tuesday to learn more about the great work happening at faith-based groups, and share your own ideas for creating a culture of health!
