Dr. Pablo Rodrigues presented on the NuestraSalud resource (https://www.nuestrasalud.com/), which provides Spanish information resources related to health and wellness for local communities. The website provides medical resources, health news, and a directory of Spanish speaking providers to increase access.
The Community Health Network (CHN) was also highlighted, by Benvinda Santos, MPA, and Danai Boone, MSW. The presentation focused on the diabetes prevention program, “Ready for Health”, as well as the range of low-cost health programs available in Rhode Island through the CHN.
