Lincoln, Neb. – In an ongoing effort to reach out to minority and refugee communities, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is partnering with the Multicultural Coalition in Grand Island for the first Spanish language Facebook Live Town Hall.
The Multicultural Coalition is a nonprofit organization on a mission to build human capital by empowering individuals to overcome barriers to basic needs, while embracing cultures of newcomer and long-term populations for a stronger community.
Through individual catered services, the Multicultural Coalition works with clients in their native language to help them overcome health, economic, and legal barriers in order to help them fulfill their dreams of building a better life in Central Nebraska.
The Facebook Live Town Hall will provide a space where residents can receive accurate information from public health and medical officials regarding the various vaccines in the Spanish language.
