Salud Latina's Services

 

Salud Latina/Latino Health has had the opportunity to work with many clients. We have assisted developing organizations as well as organizations that have been around for many years serving our communities here in Illinois. SLLH has worked with several Community Based Organizations, Faith Based Organizations, Government Offices and many more. SLLH receives grants and funding from organizations like the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Office of Minority Health, and other priviate sectors. As a result of our funding, we are capable of providing our services free of charge to all organizations that meet the criteria clearly defined in our grants. Generally, we provide free services to any non-profit or charitable organization that is either located in a Latino neighborhood, or that has Latinos participating in the congregation membership.
