Latino Health Access Information

Latino Health Access is a nonprofit organization founded in 1993 in Santa Ana, California. We reach out to residents in laundromats, garages, churches and our recently-opened new headquarters to combat serious public health problems plaguing a community of uninsured and under-served families. We train promotores, or community workers, to educate their own neighbors about diabetes, breast cancer, obesity, domestic violence, parenting and more. Each of our programs has been born from needs expressed by our own residents who subsequently engage their neighbors and friends. We hope you will join us in our mission for a more healthy community, whether you come to our morning walks, our afternoon exercise classes or to visit our own park and community center in one of America’s densest cities. Mission Statement To assist in improving the quality of life and health of uninsured, under-served people through quality preventive services and educational programs emphasizing responsibility and full participation in decisions affecting health. Latino Health Access engages and empowers the community, forges partnerships and advocates to achieve health equity for all. Health care is a human right.
