Healthy Hispanic Living Launches Campaign with Partners Banfield Pet Hospital and Cost Plus World Market
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In the midst of a year like no other, Healthy Hispanic Living (www.healthyhispanicliving.com) today launched its annual campaign to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by acknowledging the unique challenges of a year filled with pandemic, lockdowns, social unrest and a general feeling of uncertainty and instability especially among communities of color.
Healthy Hispanic Living (HHL) promotes health in all its forms physical, mental, financial and societal by changing the conversation from illness to wellness, and by addressing the issues from a cultural point of view. HHL partners with large employers to promote healthy living and to help Hispanics explore and pursue a wide range of careers.
Covid-19 has disproportionately sickened Hispanic communities in the United States (CDC). Hispanic women have experienced a steeper decline in employment (21%) in the Covid-19 downturn than other women or men (Pew Research). A whopping 65% of Latino households have faced at least one of these: job loss, hours/wages cut, or loss of their self-employment and 43% of Latino adults report that they will have trouble making rent (Latino Decisions-SOMOS survey).
