Thank you for your interest in the UVA Latino Health Initiative. As our breath and impact has expanded to other gender and age groups of interest, we have moved to the UVA Population Health Department while keeping our leadership and intention to continue serving the Department of Medicine community health efforts.

The UVA Latino Health Initiative believes that a continual and united effort to provide health services will alleviate health disparities within the Latino community.
These podcasts were created by collaborating UVA undergraduate students with the support of their faculty professor Esther Poveda in her courses. They write for social justice and change and community conversations.
