Director, Vida/SIDA appointed to Illinois Statewide Latin@ Advisory Council
Our State Representative Maria Antonia "Toni" Berrios, is proud to announce the initiation of the Illinois Statewide Latin@ Advisory Council. The advisory council will tackle three health initiatives that have the most disparate impact on the Latin@ community, i.e. HIV, diabetes and asthma. Additionally, the Council will address the needs of the Latin@ Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) community across the state of Illinois. The Advisory Council will identify critical priorities in prevention and care and promote the circulation of culturally and linguistically effective interventions for the Latino population of Illinois. The National HIV/AIDS Strategy, Healthy Chicago, and Sinai Urban Health Institute reports will be a guide to draft our priorities and annual recommendations given to me to be shared with my colleagues of the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus. Moreover, the Advisory Council will also provide advocacy, policy and funding recommendations to the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus. The new advisory council will include the following people:
1. Mireya Hurtado, IDPH*
2. Rick Ortiz, Chicago Department of Public Health*
