The SOMOS + Salud Program was developed in response to the emergency following Hurricane Maria. Two nonprofit organizations, Children’s Health Fund and Somos una Voz, joined forces and, through SIM, decided to provide healthcare to children in underserved communities in the municipalities of Orocovis, Toa Alta, Naranjito, and Corozal.
Children’s Health Fund is a nonprofit organization committed to ensuring high-quality medical care for children in the most underserved communities in the United States. This organization has 30 years of service in communities with the goal of expanding access to primary care, reducing health barriers to learning, responding to the needs of children affected by major public health crises, and improving children’s health and well-being through advocacy and public education efforts.
SOMOS UNA VOZ is a coalition of artists united by the mission to use their resources and influence to bring immediate aid to communities suffering the consequences of the most recent and devastating natural disasters.
