Vote for SaludToday as Best Health Advocate

Share On Social!

Latinos deserve to live in a culture of health.

That’s why SaludToday, led by Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez, works hard to promote Latino health awareness, stories, and solutions.

Today we’re excited to be nominated as Best Health Advocate Reaching Latino(a)s through Through Social Media by LATISM (Latinos in Social Media). LATISM is a nonprofit that empowers Latinos through tech innovation and social media.

SaludToday is nominated with two great organizations (@MinorityHealth and @CuidadodeSalud). We will present our work at #LATISM16 on Oct. 20, 2016, in Florida.

“We believe SaludToday is helping to influence individual and collective health knowledge, improve attitudes and promote healthy behaviors and a culture of health, which may ultimately lead to prevention of disease,” Ramirez said. “We’re grateful for LATISM’s recognition, alongside such great organizations like the Office of Minority Health.”

SaludToday curates stories about peer models who’ve made healthy behavior changes, recent health news, useful resources, and entertaining multimedia products.

Our weekly Tweetchat series, #SaludTues at 1 p.m. EST each Tuesday, generates conversation, problem-solving, and resource-sharing across Latino health topics.

We’re headquartered at Ramirez’s Institute for Health Promotion Research at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. Our major research projects includes ones on Latino childhood obesity (Salud America!, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation), cancer prevention (Redes, funded by the National Cancer Institute), and leadership training (Exito!, funded by the National Cancer Institute).
