Inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and the protestors of the 1960s fighting to be seen as equal in the eyes of the law, AltaMed was founded as a solution to Latin-Americans not receiving proper and equitable healthcare.
More than 50 years later, AltaMed can’t afford not to advocate. Activism is deeply rooted in AltaMed and today, they, along with their community of supporters, are more passionate and committed than ever to social justice in health care.
