The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency Border Health Program (SDCBHP) participates in a network that coordinates health and human services to new arrivals people living in the San Diego-Tijuana border region. The network has a long history of working with underserved populations, and it is committed to improving health equity through community engagement, field practice, and innovation. This workshop and bus tour is a great opportunity to learn about the SDCBHP's work, and to network with other community/public health nurses who are committed to improving health equity.
