LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Today, VidaySalud.com founder and editor-in-chief Aliza Lifshitz, M.D., better known to the Latino community as la Doctora Aliza, announced the launch of Latina Health Letter, a website and email newsletter dedicated to Hispanic health and wellness.
“Our mission is to engage Hispanics in their own healthcare and to enhance their relationships with their health care providers by giving them the information, tools and skills they need to communicate better with their doctors, to ensure better compliance with physician instructions and to achieve better and more cost-effective health outcomes,” said Dra. Aliza. “Latina Health Letter expands our mission beyond the Spanish-speaking consumers we already serve, to include those who prefer to receive information in English.”
VidaySalud.com has quickly become the largest permanent source of health information and wellness tools in Spanish on the web, accessed over 2 million times each month. It includes content from the Harvard Medical School, Mayo Clinic, the Natural Standard research collective and healthy recipes from the test kitchens of EatingWell, as well as original health content, updated daily and created especially with the Hispanic community in mind. It also publishes 15 weekly or biweekly email newsletters on specific conditions for its 500,000 registered subscribers.
The new Latina Health Letter covers all aspects of health in English from a Latina perspective, with channels dedicated to Women’s Health; Diet, Nutrition and Exercise; Women’s Sexual Health; Pregnancy; and Diabetes. Additional sections will be developed to reflect the U.S. Hispanic community’s health concerns.
In addition, a free weekly email newsletter is available to subscribers.
“Unlike other Hispanic media companies that dabble in health, we do not do entertainment, sports or news. We are 100% dedicated to health and wellness,” said Carl Kravetz, CEO of Vida y Salud Media Group. “We are a mission-driven company dedicated to public health and patient engagement. And we are fortunate to be led by Dr. Lifshitz. No one is more trusted on health by the Latino community than la Doctora Aliza. With her as editor-in-chief and with science-based content delivered in the warm, caring style she is known for, Latina Health Letter will be an invaluable resource to U.S. Latino families.”
