ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hispanic Federation, National Alliance for Hispanic Health, and Healthy Americas Foundation will host a health and wellness fair for all. ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!^®, celebrating its 18^th year, is the nation’s premier annual Hispanic family physical activity and healthy lifestyle event for the whole family. 

“Despite significant advances in the field of medicine, many vulnerable populations still face substantial challenges in accessing adequate healthcare, particularly Latine and Black communities. Today, our commitment is to work together to break down those barriers and ensure equitable access to health services. This event is more than just a space for families to come together; it’s an opportunity to educate, prevent, and promote healthy habits. We firmly believe that the progress of a community begins with its well-being,” expressed Laudi Campo, state director of the Hispanic Federation in Florida.

Families will enjoy a day of fun including live music, physical activities, free health screenings; and referrals to community health services. In addition, families can learn how to join the All of Us Research Program, a historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the US to accelerate research and improve health.

“Reducing health disparities requires a multi-faceted approach, including continuous preventative care and early detection. We’re honored to provide continued support for participants in this local health fair as part of this effort,” said Dave Pacitti, President, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.; Head of the Americas, Siemens Healthineers; and, member of the Siemens Foundation Board of Directors. “We’re committed to advancing health equity by promoting primary healthcare, diagnostic screening, workforce training for the healthcare sector, and capital loan support for community clinics, and thrilled to support ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving! ® in the city of Orlando,” concluded David Etzwiler, CEO of the Siemens Foundation.

“We are honored that with our partners and the many volunteers joining us this year that we are able to bring family friendly activities, offer access to health screenings, and provide the best information on good health and well-being,” said Dr. Jane Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the nation’s leading Hispanic health advocacy group.
