Unidos por Nuestra Salud is a community-led health initiative designed to help Latine families access reliable information, preventative care, and local services without confusion or stigma. The program focuses on meeting people where they are—through workshops, resource navigation, and outreach at schools, community events, and partner sites—so families can understand their options and take action early. Materials and support are offered in Spanish and English, with an emphasis on culturally responsive care and practical next steps.
Through Unidos por Nuestra Salud, participants can receive help with basic health screenings and referrals, guidance on finding a primary care provider, and support navigating insurance and low-cost care options. The program also promotes wellness through education on topics like nutrition, mental health, chronic disease prevention, and family health routines. By partnering with clinics and trusted community organizations, Unidos por Nuestra Salud builds a stronger network of support—so families feel informed, respected, and empowered to advocate for their health.
AMEXCAN organizes health fairs, informational talks, and training sessions to connect Latino families with preventive care and reliable health education. These events offer screenings, vaccine information, workshops on chronic disease prevention, mental health, nutrition, and more—always in a welcoming, bilingual environment.
Participants leave with practical tools, referrals to local providers, and a better understanding of how to navigate the health system for themselves and their families.

The NC Latino Farmworker Network brings together organizations and allies dedicated to improving the welfare of farmers, farmworkers, farm labor contractors, and their families across North Carolina. Through health education, outreach, and coordinated support, the network works to address the unique risks faced by agricultural workers—long hours, exposure to heat and chemicals, housing challenges, and limited access to care.
AMEXCAN plays an active role in this network, helping ensure that farmworker voices guide the programs and policies meant to serve them.
We connect families to trusted resources, culturally grounded education, and pathways to care—especially when language, cost, or access create barriers. Through partnerships and community-led outreach, we help people navigate services and take the next step toward healthier lives.
Our health work is grounded in collaboration and culturally competent care. We partner with clinics, hospitals, universities, and grassroots organizations to share clear, accurate information in Spanish and English, and to reduce fear and confusion around the health system.
We meet people where they are—on farms, in churches, community centers, and neighborhood events—offering screenings, education, and referrals in trusted community spaces. By coordinating efforts among alliance members and lifting up the voices of farmworkers, families, and youth, we help transform isolated services into a connected network that truly serves Latino communities across North Carolina and Mexico.
