Honoring Hispanic Heritage: A Latina Nurse in the Rio Grande Valley
Jessica Wagner, MPH, BSN, RN is a first-generation college grad and a Latina nurse. In a recent blog she writes, “Nursing school to me was not only a way to play a pivotal role in shaping a community’s health outcomes, but that education was also my pathway in breaking the cycle.” In her day job and her volunteer work, Wagner is a champion for health and health equity in her community. She shares vital resources, such as the Campaign for Action’s Health Equity Toolkit and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s County Health Rankings, with civic groups and leaders who, like her, are committed to advancing health equity in the Harlingen, Texas area.

New - Grants to Improve Benefits Access for Older Adults

These grants are intended to aid organizational development at a structural level and are not intended to pay for general operating expenses or existing direct service programs. Preference will be given to proposals that focus on efforts to better serve communities that have historically faced systemic barriers, racial and ethnic
disparities, and other biases that perpetuate economic instability. Pre-Application Deadline: October 3, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. (ET).
