Take Two Aspirin and Text Me in the Morning: Advancing Health through Technology Co-Presented by Qualcomm Incorporated and Verizon Health • Policy • STEM Rivergate Room

2013 NCLR ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Mobile technology is transforming the way communities live, work, and play and the way that health care is delivered. This workshop will explore how Latino communities can leverage this platform to improve their overall quality of life. Panelists will explore how health information technologies such as mobile health are being implemented at the community level and what these advancements mean throughout the country.

New mobile innovations will be particularly critical as we experience one of the largest overhauls of health information exchange in our nation’s history through implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While Latinos are among the most digitally connected, they are also among the most medically underserved. Digital tools can help empower our communities, making health care services and information more accessible and continuous,

Surabhi Jain, Manager, Career Pathways Initiative, NCLR Latino Student Achievement with an Attitude: Building School Success and Critical Consciousness Presented by Teach For America Education Room 212

Latino students face many social, cultural, historical, and political barriers that academic achievement alone cannot destroy. The challenge in Latino education is not simply to raise levels of academic achievement, but to develop a generation of Latinos who will broker a better deal for Latinos in the broader society. We don’t just need honor students; we need revolutionary intellectuals who conceive

of their education as a weapon in their struggle for liberation and freedom. This session shares the work of Teach For America to make this education possible.

To address the culturally specific needs of Latinas in cervical cancer prevention, NCLR’s Institute for Hispanic Health developed Mujer Sana, Familia Fuerte, an educational project led by promotores de salud (community health workers).

Within a few months, the United States could have much awaited comprehensive immigration reform, providing the opportunity to legalize millions of immigrants currently in the country. The processes through which these new Americans become integrated into U.S. society are just as important as the legislation creating new pathways to citizenship.

Community-based organizations, government programs, and private entities will provide English classes, teach civics lesson, and otherwise support immigrants on their road to full citizenship. But none will have the same place in history, make use of public/private efforts, or have the same kind of impact on immigrant families and their children that schools have.

Immigration: The Moral, Economic, and Political Imperatives for Winning Reform Sponsored by Walmart

2013 NCLR ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Riverside Rooms RO2–RO4

60

Without a doubt, immigration is a galvanizing issue for the nation’s Hispanics, 75% of whom are United States citizens. The toxic rhetoric on immigration has affected this community deeply, and that is why Latino voters last November generated a game-changing moment for this debate, creating an opportunity to arrive at a solution. Fair and effective immigration reform will not only benefit immigrants and America’s Hispanics, but is in the best social and economic interest of our country. Achieving reform will require bipartisan compromise and political will, and multi-sector voices and constituencies on the left and right of the debate to build the political space and pressure to win legislation. Undeniably, the wide array of forces pushing for reform makes not only the moment different, but real solutions possible.

Latino communities historically are afraid of or intimidated by the court process because they are unfamiliar with it and are unaware that they have options available to help avoid foreclosure. A wellmanaged court mediation program can make the court process more people friendly, educate the homeowner on the mortgage foreclosure process, empower and involve the homeowner in the process, and provide information and access to both retention and nonretention options.
