LIVE ·2024 Grants ChallengePreventing Type 2 Diabetes with Health Literacy
Human Health Project (HHP) is a charity dedicated to empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools to manage their health. Founded in 2002, HHP has a proven track record of success. From 2016 to 2022, we piloted a series of healthcare access education programs, including patient education videos, peer-led workshops and panels. This experience positions us well to develop and deliver a culturally relevant 'Preventing Type 2 Diabetes with Health Literacy' program tailored to the specific needs of the Latino community in Los Angeles County.
