Latinas Contra Cancer invites you to join us for Housing is Healthcare, a teach-in as part of Affordable Housing Month on Monday, May 13, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at our office.
Housing is a health issue. Without stable and affordable housing, patients struggle to access care, manage chronic illnesses, and maintain their overall well-being. This teach-in will explore the intersection of housing and health, discuss how housing insecurity disproportionately affects communities of color and low-income families, and introduce Latinas Contra Cancer’s new pilot program, Prescription Housing, happening within the Santa Clara County Health and Hospital System.
We’ll discuss what becomes possible when housing is viewed as a critical part of a patient’s care plan and how this program could change the way we address health disparities in our community. Join us to learn, connect, and engage in this urgent conversation. Light refreshments will be served.
