Story of the Tamalada
The motto and rallying cry of Latino Health Access is, “We will have a healthier community, even if we have to sell tamales.” This phrase is derived from a common Mexican proverb. It means that in the face of adversity, people can call upon their talents to overcome obstacles and accomplish something extraordinary.
We adopted the saying when a patient from our diabetes class became partially blind. Although unable to afford the $5,000 eye surgery to save his vision, he refused to give up. He would have that surgery, even if he had to sell tamales. He was the inspiration for the first Tamalada.
Every year, Latino Health Access sells healthy tamales to support access to critical services such as eye surgeries. We remain inspired by the story of this man. The Tamalada demonstrates Latino Health Access’s passion and commitment to community health.
Thank you for supporting a health community.
