Powerful Answers in Healthcare
Mobile health brings more than new technologies. It enables a new way of interacting with patients and providing healthcare to those who need it most. Most importantly, it gives underserved, ethnically diverse communities health services they didn’t have access to before.
La Maestra Foundation is an inspiring example of how an entrepreneurial vision, along with technology, can transform our community, make a difference and pave the way to creating a better future.
CreaFuturo
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Verizon is honoring change-makers with CreaFuturo, a website that shares inspiring stories of those making a difference in the community and resources to help other achieve their own goals.
