"Where you live is significantly linked to how healthy you are.
Sadly, U.S. Latino communities face unaffordable housing, unreliable public transportation, and a lack of green space and parks.
This limits Latinos’ access to health-promoting assets─medical care, good schools, healthy food, and physical activity. This contributes to health inequities affecting this population.
Fortunately, community leaders can adopt dynamic land-use methods, public-private partnerships, and community involvement to build and revitalize Latino neighborhoods. This can create affordable housing, connection to public transportation, and more green spaces.
The result is health equity─a fair, just opportunity to achieve the best health possible."
