Wellness Corridor, from Council Member Michele Martinez’ Newsletter
Latino Health Access (LHA), one of Santa Ana’s most successful non-profits, mission is to assist in improving the quality of life and health of the most marginalized members of the community. Since 1993, LHA has provided quality preventive services and educational programs that enable such individuals to take responsibility and fully participate in decisions affecting their health. LHA has been highly effective in reducing health disparities among Orange County’s severely under-served, underinsured Latino community. Now, LHA is embarking in a new endeavor, promoting the creation of a Wellness Corridor in Central Santa Ana.
The Wellness Corridor is a project that Council Member Michele Martinez fully support as it addresses the health issues of Central Santa Ana’s residents by encouraging active lifestyles, healthy eating options, engages residents and businesses—adding resources for all while building community. The Wellness Corridor will promote active healthier living by using non-traditional open spaces to create urban fitness walking and biking routes with supporting amenities and exercise stations which will be located at the organization’s park currently under development and scheduled for completion summer of 2012.
The location of the Wellness Corridor project area is proposed to be located in downtown Santa Ana. It includes the city’s civic center, the pedestrian-oriented downtown retail business district, a high-density residential neighborhood and an industrial zone. Specifically, the corridor covers the area bounded by Ross Street to the west and Garfield Street approximately one mile to the east, and includes the areas to the north and south of the corridor along 3rd and 4th Streets. The Wellness Corridor proposes to include a safe walking and biking circuit route of approximately two miles in length using the public sidewalks and streets (for a parallel walking and bike route) along 3rd and 4th Streets, with interval stops for access to bathrooms, water and the Latino Health Access Park and Community Center at the mid-point of this circuit route.
The project would engage 150 businesses as partners to create a healthier city and encourages the business community to participate in the conceptualization and implementation of a wellness corridor, providing services and information to pedestrians, offering ideas/resources, creating a healthier workplace. This project is representative of projects that Council Member Martinez supports – those that improve and add to the policies and development in the city that help create a healthier Santa Ana.
For more information on the Wellness Corridor project, please call Dolores Gonzalez-Hayes, Director of Policy, at Latino Health Access (714) 542-7792. Click here for information regarding the new park being built by Latino Health Access, in Santa Ana’s 92701 zip code – which had no parks.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Latina" redirects here. For other uses, see Latina (disambiguation).
The two words originate in American Spanish latino and latina (from Latin Latinus, Latina), either meaning "Latin", or possibly a clipped form of latinoamericano, "Latin American".[1][2][3]
In the United States, the term is in official use in the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino, defined as "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race."[4][5]The term is also used in Spain as a term of self-identification for immigrants from Hispanoamerica.
As the definition states "Latino/a is not race related. All races can be "Latino/a.
"Latino" is a term to describe geographical origin not race.
The non profit targets Latino Santa Ana residents principally..... who have limited access to health services, that Latino Health access provides, if the the non profit did not exist.
"“Latino” is a term to describe geographical origin not race."...... Hmmmmm
I think that your amalgam is hardening Dr. Amalgam.
"The non profit targets Latino Santa Ana residents principally….. who have limited access to health services, that Latino Health access provides, if the the non profit did not exist."
After substitution Test:
"The non profit targets White Santa Ana residents principally….. who have limited access to health services, that White Health access provides, if the the non profit did not exist."
Which one sounds racist Dr. Amalgam?... Huh?
Yours those. Read the definition again.........you ignore it in order to make it racist. The term "Latino" is inclussive of all races your argument of it being exclusive of Whites is silly and stupid.
"The term “Latino” is inclussive (sic) of all races your argument of it being exclusive of Whites is silly and stupid"...... Hmmmmm
That is the problem with your affirmative action education and your reliance on the Wikipedia as a source of the knowledge -- Dr Amalgam....
You are even unable to answer a simple question.
I should add,
You have stated Dr. Amalgan: "The non profit targets Latino Santa Ana residents principally".
Therefore, if it targets "Latino" than term “Latino” is not inclusive of all races....
You do not target all!... only some!
From Merrian-Webster dictionary:
La·ti·no
noun \lə-ˈtē-(ˌ)nō\
pluralLa·ti·nos
Definition of LATINO
: a native or inhabitant of Latin America
2
: a person of Latin-American origin living in the United States
Again has no reference to race. Is a geographical term. Webster agrees with Wikpedia.
"You are even unable to answer a simple question"

Your self claimed superior intellect has serious problems with reading comprehension. Evident in you not comprehending my answer to your question in my last post above and your inability to comprehend dictionary definitions.
"Latino" is inclusive of races your example of "White" is exclusive of other races ....so your example is racists. Hope you can understand this.
I do look for sources of information unlike you who wishes to live in your own ignorant world.

You do not target all!… only some
Your brain has a real difficult time absorbing information and processing it. Let me help you some more.
Using the Term "Latino" targets people of origin from the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America. Individuals from these geographical areas are made up of all races........so there is no exclusion of races.
OK!.... you have won Dr. Amalgam!
Latino means entire world!.....
That what Hitler thought too when he said German.....
Latino does include all races. Thank you for not arguing this any more.
Hitler's Germany was exclusive of those not fitting his Aryan definition. His Germany not only excluded but exterminated those not fitting his ideal hair,eye,and skin color, those with physical deformities,those with unwanted physical features and religious beliefs. His wish was to exterminate all races that did not fit his plan.
LAINO COUNTRIES INCLUDE ALL RACES HITLER WANTED THE WORLD TO BE ONE RACE.
YOU SEE HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE.
