On Wednesday, July 7, 2021, Hispanic Federation with the National Alliance for Hispanic Health will present the 15th Annual ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® event at Queens Museum in Corona, NY. The event promotes Hispanic family physical activity and good nutrition for better health and wellness for people of all ages.
We will be offering no-cost health screenings, health information, and COVID-19 vaccines to individuals that have limited access to culturally competent health services. Groceries will also be distributed to 600 families.
“For more than a decade, our close partnership with the National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance) has helped shape the health and wellness of thousands of children and families in Latino communities across New York City. Our signature event, ¡Vive Tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving! provides free health screenings and education, but the significance extends beyond this one day; together with the Alliance we are starting a conversation around lifestyle choices within a community that still faces great disparities in health, and encouraging positive changes that will affect generations to come. We are extremely proud of this initiative, and thank our partners, sponsors, and network of Latino nonprofits for their continued support,” said Frankie Miranda, President & CEO of the Hispanic Federation.
Hispanic Federation will be at the Queens Museum on Wednesday July 7th, to host this healthy lifestyle event!
