The Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey is pleased to announce that the “Latino Health Summit to Eliminate Health Disparities in the Latino Community” will include a program specifically designed to assist community based organizations in securing funding for their efforts to combat health disparities.

This program entitled Grant Maker Perspectives on Mitigating Health Disparities, will be an opportunity for community leaders to hear directly from health and health policy focused foundation practitioners. This town hall style discussion is intended to encourage active participation between community leaders and members of the grant making community who actively support programs that address health disparities.

Community-based initiatives, partnered with research institutions, are gaining recognition by health scholars and funders as a potent approach to studying, addressing and identifying best practices to mitigate health disparities.

This program is in addition to the keynote address by Dr. Elena Rios, President and CEO National Hispanic Medical Association. The Summit will also include presentations by our featured guests: Sandra Echeverria, PhD, MPH UMDNJ, School of Public Health Assistant Professor/ Department of Epidemiology; Robert Montemayor, Director of the Rutgers Latino Information Network; Dr. Tanya Pagán Raggio Ashley, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Region II and a special CME qualified presentation by Dr. Meena Murthy entitled Chronic Illness in the Latino Community: Prevalence and Prevention.

She also helps to further the Foundation’s effort to support researchers from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities and to expand the diversity within the evaluation field overall. As she puts it: “What we do at the Foundation, whether it is addressing diversity, disparities, or population health, puts the nation on the road to better health, and that’s extremely rewarding."
