Dia de la Mujer Latina

Intercultural Health, associated with Día de la Mujer Latina (DML), works to make healthcare access, support, and information more equitable and responsive to communities’ cultural, linguistic, and economic needs. Since 1997, the organization has focused on reducing barriers such as lack of insurance, transportation, and reliable information, while helping individuals make informed health decisions. Its approach centers on listening, respect, and the work of Promotores and Community Health Workers.

DML’s MINE Framework—Motivate, Inform, Navigate, Educate—guides these workers in building trusted relationships, sharing understandable and culturally relevant health information, connecting people with resources and care, and reinforcing learning over time. The organization also offers a Telehealth Community Navigation Contact Center, providing virtual support by phone, text, email, and social media. Its services include health assessment profiles, connections to resources addressing social and medical needs, and timely follow-ups to help prevent gaps in care. Through its community health and wellness programs and learning and training initiatives, DML supports healthier decisions and stronger connections between communities and the healthcare system.
