From Arizona’s Healthy Pima Team, Annemarie Medina will discuss her team’s efforts to implement a tested, culturally appropriate curriculum that focuses on chronic disease prevention for Spanish speaking families, including both immigrant and non-immigrant populations. Miguel Vasquez from the Eastern Coachella Valley Team in California will discuss his team’s focus on researching community interconnectedness as an opportunity to boost long-term understanding and implementation of health land use and transportation planning policies. All three panelists are alumni of the Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (LAPH), a program of PHI’s Center for Health Leadership & Impact.
