The year 2020 changed life as we know it, for now, but life went on in Colorado despite the challenges 2020 brought. Here is a look at some of the stories published in La Voz community section.
Throughout the year, La Voz covered numerous health issues other than COVID-19, including the mental health of children, diabetes, cancer, heart and other health issues that Latinos face.
Currently, Colorado needs early childhood mental health consultants. While Hispanics are 10 percent less likely to have coronary heart disease than non-Hispanic whites, the combination of heart disease and strokes is deadly in Colorado. However, it is estimated that at least 200,000 deaths from heart disease and strokes in the United States each year can be preventable.
