2023 Together - PH344 - Developing a Spanish-Language Virtual Care Model to Improve Health Equity

Las Vegas, NV US
September 21, 2023

Cottage Health’s Marketing, Digital Health, and Center for Population Health teams collaborated to create a virtual care platform for Spanish speakers, with the aim of increasing health equity and access. Cottage Health engaged local Hispanic/Latino residents for input and used their feedback to build a platform that is not just a simple translation, but includes culturally relevant language and educational material guided by the community. Further, Cottage Health partnered with a local organization to train community health workers as digital health navigators to increase access to the virtual care platform among harder-to-reach populations.

  • Nurses
  • Pharmacists
  • Pharmacy Technicians
