Accessing quality health care and dealing with health care systems can be a challenging process. This is especially true for Latinos who experience several barriers—from language to culture—in receiving cancer treatment.

Fortunately, SaludToday’s social media outlets are gaining momentum, and important resources like the Redes En Acción: Patient Navigation Training Manual are providing organizations and individuals alike with a roadmap for reducing barriers to accessing health care.

This month, the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at The UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, the team behind the SaludToday social media outlets, was recognized with two awards.

IHPR earned a “silver” award for its free Patient Navigation Training Manual and a “bronze” award for its SaludToday Twitter feed from the Health Information Resource Center, which gives awards twice annually for online health information.

The manual offers providers with tools to help Latinos overcome barriers to accessing health care. It is divided into three sections which explain what patient navigation is, if it is right for an organization, and how to build and implement patient navigation.

The IHPR also earned a “merit” award for its quarterly E-newsletter, IHPR Noticias, which trumpets the latest advancements in Latino health disparities news and research.

For the Web Health Awards competition, which is held twice yearly, a panel of 32 experts in digital health media served as judges and selected gold, silver, bronze, and merit winners from nearly 600 entries.

“We’re humbled by the recognition of our efforts to heighten the awareness of Latino health issues and promote research and methods to prevent and/or eliminate those issues,” said Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez, who directs the IHPR and its SaludToday campaign. “We’re going to keep pushing the envelope to better all facets of Latino health.”
