Speaker: Lina Payne
Since it opened almost two decades ago, Puentes de Salud (Bridges of Health) has grown to be recognized as a national model for immigrant health and wellness. Puentes de Salud is a nonprofit that promotes the health and wellness of South Philadelphia’s rapidly growing Latinx immigrant population through high-quality health care, innovative educational programs, and community building. Orfelina Feliz Payne has spent the past 25 years dedicated to her life’s mission: combating social injustice through education and wellness. With a personal identification fostered by her real-life experiences of trauma, poverty, and discrimination, Orfelina brings a passion for applying strategic, yet thoughtful, initiatives that promote the empowerment and overall welfare of communities habitually treated with disregard.
