Thanks for the Nomination, #LATISM!

Share On Social!

Our @SaludAmerica (formerly @SaludToday) health social media handle was honored to be nominated for the Best Health channel to reach people through Tech Innovation and Social Media award from LATISM, a nonprofit group that empowers people through tech innovation and social media.

Although we didn’t win (congrats to our friends at the American Heart Association!), we love being part of a huge push to improve health.

During the LATISM conference, our social media coordinator, Carlos Valenzuela of the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at the UT Health Science Center, was honored to speak on behalf of IHPR Director Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez about how we’re using using our social media accounts and digital communications via Salud America! to raise awareness of childhood obesity and drive people to create healthy changes in their own schools and communities across the country.

It was also a great opportunity to connect with other amazing organizations invested in improving health and learn more about the work they’re doing in the areas of health, education, technology and innovation.
