Abstract

Barriers to the use of integrative medicine modalities are complex, with associated disparities in awareness, access, and utilization within marginalized communities. This article details our experience in creating a virtual community designed to empower Hispanic women in the US to lead healthier lives through culturally aware health education in Spanish. Our digital health programs utilize a mind-body medicine approach to foster positive social connections and promote integrative health equity within the Hispanic community living in the US.

Keywords: community health partnerships; digital health; health disparities; health outcomes; integrative health equity; language concordance.
