Programa SALUD is Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus's
Initiative for Hispanic/Latino Health. The purpose of our organization
is to alleviate the cultural and linguistic barriers that many Hispanics/Latinos
in Baltimore encounter when seeking medical care. To accomplish this
goal, Programa Salud targets two populations. First, we target the Hispanic/Latino
community itself through health fairs, health education presentations,
and community outreach. Second, we target their healthcare providers
and institutions through cultural competency training and interpretation
services. With our volunteers expanding from undergraduate students,
to gradutate, public health, and medical students, we are increasing
our partner institutions throughout Baltimore to achieve our goals of
health promotion and cultural competency education. |
