| “The COVID-19 pandemic amplified the health disparities Latinos have had to contend with for decades. To make matters worse, our community still faces barriers to life-saving healthcare coverage and resources across the country. This is why our Get Up! Get Moving! event is so important. We’re providing free, culturally competent healthcare resources in our community that protect and advance the well-being of everyone. I thank our partners for being a part of this important event and encourage all Neoyorquinos to attend and spread the word.” |
