Empowering Equity: Julissa Soto's Collaborative Crusade for Health and Social Justice

Julissa's collaborative spirit extends far and wide as she joins forces with an array of stakeholders, including funders, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, school districts, government agencies, and countless others. Together, they forge pathways to deliver pioneering community programs deeply rooted in evidence-based practices.

These initiatives go beyond conventional approaches; they embody innovation designed to dismantle barriers to access. Julissa's approach meets communities precisely where they are, acknowledging and embracing their unique contexts. She ensures that communication is not just effective but culturally resonant, recognizing the significance of language and outreach tailored to specific cultural backgrounds.

Moreover, Julissa's efforts extend beyond mere healthcare provision; she addresses critical social determinants of health that disproportionately affect underserved populations. By tackling these underlying factors, her work not only fosters health equity but also initiates broader societal transformations, empowering communities to thrive against systemic odds.

WHAT ARE VACCINE SUNDAYS?

Vaccine Sundays is a project designed to provide vetted information from trusted resources to the underserved Spanish-speaking community in Colorado. The goal is to make prevention education and outreach part of the Church’s ministry.

Julissa provides trusted, and vetted information on COVID-19 information that fosters preparedness rather than stoking fear and perpetuating myths. She provides information in Spanish on the signs and symptoms of COVID-19. She educates the congregation on infection prevention habits, like proper handwashing techniques and other common practices frequently taught to combat influenza. She teaches infection control strategies, provides healthful habit reminders and provides information on how to get vaccines. She also posts fliers and disseminates information regarding vaccine sites in the community.

At NRC-RIM we have very high standards for translated materials, and we know we can count on Julissa to help us ensure what we create is not only accurate, but culturally relevant.
