Health Communication through Community Engagement

​

Partnerships with trusted community-based organizations and information sources is fundamental to the Brigada Digital de Salud’s mission. Our partners have long-standing histories of serving the Latinx community in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. Through partnerships with local community clinics, faith-based organizations, and media partners, we can reach a broader audience, engage them in COVID-19 prevention, and establish trust in such uncertain times. Through these partnerships, we continue to build a trained cadre of Brigada Digital members who disseminate and amplify our COVID-19 messages to their social networks.
