Listen to LCHC’s NEW Podcast – ¡A Tu Salud!
¡A Tu Salud!, the definitive podcast for Latine & Indigenous health policy. Through this podcast, we intentionally create a space for Latine & Indigenous leaders to share the stories and life-long journeys guiding their commitment to the community. We hope that our conversations will connect us de corazón a corazón and spark collective action toward policy and system transformation in our pursuit of health justice.
In January 2025, we’re kicking off season 2 of ¡A Tu Salud! During this time of uncertainty for our communities, it is more important than ever that we have strong Latine leaders in healthcare and public health. In this season, our host and LCHC’s Executive Director, Dr. Seciah Aquino, brings on an all-new lineup of CA leaders driving change in healthcare, public health, and public policy. Join us as we dive deep into conversation and explore the million-dollar question—how can we finally achieve Health Equity in California?
¡A Tu Salud! is a video and audio experience consisting of 30-50 minute-long episodes airing twice a month on Wednesdays. You can find our podcast available for audio streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music with the full video component on YouTube.
We invite you to grab your cafecito (or drink of choice), tune in, and celebrate as we begin this new journey together. And as always, ¡A Tu Salud!
