Health Confianza is a collaborative program that utilizes health literacy principles and strategies to enhance health equity for those individuals living in ZIP codes with the most significant health disparities. The goal is to equip people with skills and access to scientific/accurate health information to make informed health decisions for themselves and their families.
Established in 2017, Barrio Dogg originated in a 1964 Impala food cart, paying tribute to Lowrider culture. Our mission is to impact our community through a cultural culinary experience, by providing a taste of Chicano comfort food, with an emphasis on using high-quality ingredients, and to express the artistic flavor that comes from our neighborhood.
