Spreading the word about how to build a culture of health for Latinos is a dire need.
That’s why we at SaludToday are excited to be nominated as Best Health Advocate reaching Latino(a)s through Tech Innovation and Social Media by LATISM (Latinos in Social Media), a nonprofit group that aims to empower Latinos through tech innovation and social media, and Toyota.
SaludToday is a national Latino health campaign and the social media handle for Dr. Amelie Ramirez’s Institute for Health Promotion Research at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, including its national projects on Latino childhood obesity (Salud America!) and cancer prevention (Redes). SaludToday curates stories about peer models who’ve made healthy behavior changes, recent health news, useful resources, and entertaining multimedia products.
SaludToday is nominated alongside three great organizations (@MinorityHealth, @American_Heart, and @AARP) and will present about its campaign as part of the #LATISM15 conference on Oct. 28, 2015, in Washington, D.C.

“We believe SaludToday is helping to influence individual health knowledge, improve attitudes and promote healthy behaviors and a culture of health, which may ultimately lead to prevention of disease,” Ramirez said.
