Latino health rules!

We’re excited to announce we, Salud America! (formerly SaludToday), were named “Best Health Advocate Reaching Latino(a)s Through Social Media” by LATISM (Latinos in Social Media), a nonprofit promoting Latino tech innovation.

Salud America! promotes Latino health awareness, stories, and solutions.

Our Tweetchat series, #SaludTues at 1 p.m. EST each Tuesday, generates Latino health conversation, problem-solving, and resource-sharing among millions of Twitter users.

We were nominated alongside two great organizations, @MinorityHealth and @CuidadodeSalud.

“This award is important because it reinforces the importance of reaching Latinos with critical health messages, and recognizes three organizations that are working very hard to do just that,” said Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez, director of Salud America! and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio.

The #LATISM16 annual conference wraps up today in Florida.
