The Clorox Company, in partnership with the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN), has launched the Hispanic Nurses Network, a new healthcare resource for Hispanic families.
"Research shows that Hispanics are less likely than non-Hispanics to have access to preventive health services and healthcare information," said Jay Stilwell, marketing manager from The Clorox Company. "Since nurses are often a family's first stop for healthcare services, we created the Hispanic Nurses Network to serve as a resource on health and wellness matters to U.S. Hispanic families."
The announcement was made by Aliza Lifshitz, MD, founder and editor in chief of VidaySalud.com, along with Angie Millan, president of the NAHN during the Hispanicize Conference.The conference is taking place this week in Miami where Hispanic influencers are gathered to discuss different topics of relevance to the Hispanic community.
The Hispanic Nurses Network consists of Spanish-speaking nurses in Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, who will act as healthcare advocates to share health information and educate Hispanics on how to keep their homes healthy, through media interviews at local outlets and Q&A sessions at www.facebook.com/cloroxlatino. Healthcare expert Dr. Lifshitz will also provide support and recommendations for the Hispanic Nurses Network, as well as health content for the Clorox Latino Facebook page.
"There is nothing more important in life than being healthy," said Dr. Lifshitz, renowned physician, author and health expert. "As a doctor and as an editor in chief of VidaySalud.com, I am very well aware of the need Hispanics have for healthcare advice, and that is why I applaud this initiative and truly believe that the Hispanic Nurses Network will help people stay informed."
