Please join the South Carolina Hispanic/Latino Health Coalition for its second "Dine and Discuss" event on November 20 from 5:30-7:00 at 730 Devine Street, Columbia SC.
Tammy Besherse and Emily Stanek of the Coalition for New South Carolinians will lead a "train the trainer" session on the current immigration situation and how we, as advocates working in the health care system, can help the community understand their rights, responsibilities, and options.
We look forward to dining and discussing with you!

The SCHLHC collaborated with the March of Dimes by participating in their annual March for Babies which took place this year on May 3, 2008. The Coalition sponsored 12 local Hispanic families in the walk and was able to raise over $1000 for the cause.
The 4th Annual Hispanic Health and Education Fair was held on March 25, 2006, and an estimated 150 Hispanic families attended the Fair. This Fair provided our Hispanic residents with the opportunity to receive various health services as well as to familiarize themselves with the resources available to them within their community.
