A Su Salud

The A Su Salud program is a massive Spanish and English-language campaign that includes television and print media combined with outreach efforts to community partners including:

  • Volunteers
  • Churches
  • Clinics
  • Schools
  • Support staff
  • Nutrition Centers
  • Local Business
  • Media

A Su Salud has offered information to the public on a variety of health issues for nearly 20 years. The model has been implemented nationwide in San Diego, San Francisco, Miami, Brownsville, San Antonio, and New York.

Topics:

Today our main focus is injury prevention. Injury is the leading cause of death in the United States, and A Su Salud understands that a significant part of being healthy is staying safe. We have developed training programs and informational materials to communicate the importance of reducing the impact of injury on the community.

Volunteers:

The heart of A Su Salud, however, has always been the volunteers. These trained and motivated individuals act as ambassadors for the program, distributing and promoting our materials directly to their communities. Not only do our volunteers make positive changes in their own lives, but they encourage others to do so as well.
