Healthcare access - expanded access to culturally and linguistically appropriate health information, services, and treatment options for little havana residents.

Under the juntos sin barreras project with urban health partnerships, we provided bilingual hiv prevention workshops, distributed educational materials, and coordinated free testing events with local clinical partners. Concurrently, through a multi-year partnership with the university of miami's ceal project, we launched a community health worker-led intervention focused on food insecurity, research trust, and health disparities. Chws provided trusted outreach, conducted surveys, and connected residents to care and resources.
