Latinas Leading Latinas
to Build Healthier Families
The Health and Wellness Committee is dedicated to lowering the risk of disease and improving the overall health and well being of our members, their families and our community. We will do this by providing information to help Latinas identify their personal health risks, encouraging them to take personal responsibility, and motivating and supporting them in making healthy choices for themselves and their families.
