OPTIMAL HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR ALL.

We want a Maryland that enshrines healthcare as a human right and where justice, diversity, equity and inclusion are no longer simply aspirational, but a tangible truth specially for the Latino community.

“What impressed me about MLU was the very good coordination led by young people with new ideas and who are concerned about the health and well-being of the community.”

Judith Tenezaca

Ecuatorian

“As CHW, the way that MLU has impacted my life is through the utility that through MLU we can effectively reach out and help the community. It is a great satisfaction for me to contribute to my community in this way thanks to MLU.”

Iveth Mendez Castillo

Guatemalan

“A compatriot was benefited by a list of resources that was provided by Yuliana Macey so that he could operate at a low cost. It is admirable how organized they are and the great work they do.”

Victor Palomo

Venezuelan

“I love working with MLU because it helps to provide resources and information to Latino people in the community to help them with their health and lives. MLU has taught me a lot of important facts and information about the community that helps us give them resources that can affect their lives in a positive way.”

Kimberly Cuzmar

Colombian - Chilean

“Personally, I feel very satisfied to be able to help and also inform my community, to be that bridge to connect them with different resources. Thank you for such a beautiful opportunity.”
