We take care of each other.

Somos Salud seeks to keep Latin American and migrant communities safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Latinxs are 1.5 times more likely to contract COVID-19 than their non-Latinx white counterparts, 2.2 times more likely to be hospitalized from COVID-19, and 1.8 times more likely to die from COVID-19.* We are providing Latinx essential workers, their families, and communities with the tools to promote health, while engaging our communities to build a better future together.

We are stronger when we work together.

With support and guidance from the CDC, Alianza Americas is leading an effort to address health disparities in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Alianza Americas and its member organizations, together with the Latino Commission on AIDS and the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexico Binational Health Commission Mobile Units, are implementing this ambitious initiative to keep our communities safe. We are working to improve health promotion and response activities with limited English proficiency (LEP) Latinx essential workers, their families and communities. We are developing culturally and linguistically tailored programs and practices for information sharing, testing, contact tracing, vaccination and healthcare strategies in response to health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. We keep each other safe!

Health is a top priority for all communities.

"I got vaccinated for my family and my community."
