In this conversation, Dr. America Bracho, founder and CEO of Latino Health Access, explains why telling a patient with diabetes to “go walk” is not enough. What happens when there are no safe parks to walk in?

Dr. Bracho shares the powerful 11 year story of how the community organized to build the “Parque Familias Corazones Verdes” (Green Hearts Park) in a zip code that had no parks at all.

This episode dives deep into the “social determinants of health,” exploring how housing, low wages, and our environment are part of a “structural design” that creates health inequities. Learn how Latino Health Access is building a legacy of community power to address these root causes and create lasting change.
