Highlights of our 30th Celebration held in 2023
“Our communities are calling for transformative leadership that can help us build social and economic justice as the path toward a better life for all. It’s not easy. It requires vision, patience, persistence, consistency, long-term commitment, discipline, self-awareness, mutual respect, and profound faith in one’s self and in one’s community. We accept this challenge with humility and joy. ”
— America Bracho, MD, MPH
“Under America Bracho, Latino Health Access has emerged as the leading pathfinder in community-based public health practice and community empowerment. Those of us who are engaged in the battle for health equity and the reduction or elimination of health disparities tend to talk a good game about “community empowerment” and “community engagement” - but we often fall short of reaching meaningful heights on both fronts.”
- Robert K. Ross, MD
“Through its dedicated recruitment, training, and development of a robust network of promotoras who form deep, lasting, and relevant relationships throughout Santa Ana, LHA has effectively rewoven the intricate tapestry of community by creating a powerful sense of belonging among families, neighbors, and residents.”
