Cost Reduction

Toolkit

Successfully changing the behavior of Hispanics to improve outcomes and lower costs is our specialty.

Evidence has demonstrated that health promotion programs are more likely to be effective if they are culturally appropriate and relevant.

It is important to emphasize cultural diversity within the Hispanic population when conducting health promotion activities. Subgroups of the Hispanic population -- such as Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans -- differ in their lifestyles, health beliefs, and health practices.

How We Help

In 2007, HolaDoctor was selected by the Florida Department of Health to design, implement and administer a $2.5 million bilingual Hispanic Obesity Prevention and Education Program (HOPE) in the state of Florida.

Key Components of the HOPE Program included:

  • A state-wide Hispanic marketing and media campaign promoting the HOPE program through billboard ads, radio and TV commercials, magazine and newspaper articles, email blasts, community events, and community organizations.
  • Active recruitment of and support from community-based organizations to advance their efforts to address overweight and obesity through promotion of improved nutrition and increased physical activity. This effort included development, implementation, and management of a “mini-grants” program totaling $325,000 that was awarded by HolaDoctor to enable community organizations to provide health services to Hispanics at a grassroots level.
  • Development of a state-level, public-private partnership to enable expansion and sustainability of the program. This partnership included hospitals, health plans, and media companies, working together to promote and make HOPE a success.
  • Development and management of a bilingual web-based platform for Hispanic Floridians (www.HOPEFlorida.org) that included personalized health content and programs in both Spanish and English.
  • Offline assessments and materials to engage Medicaid and other lower income Hispanics that may not be active web users.
