Highlights of our 30th Celebration held in 2023

In 2023, we marked a significant milestone—30 years of transforming lives and communities! Our Anniversary Celebration was filled with inspiring moments, heartfelt speeches, and a shared commitment to health equity. From our incredible keynote speakers to the moving stories of those whose lives we’ve touched, it was an unforgettable evening of reflection, gratitude, and hope for the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported our mission. Together, we continue to build healthier, stronger communities!

“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. ”

“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.”

“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.”
