gnax logoNATIONAL LATINO ALLIANCE ON HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Since 2001, LISTA has worked to bridge the digital divide and ensure that the life-changing benefits of technology and information sciences are extended to the entire Latino community.

With developments in healthcare at the forefront of national consciousness, LISTA recognizes that a new era of health information technology (HIT) is on the horizon. LISTA plans to advocate, educate and ensure financial sustainability for HIT integration among those who have traditionally been delayed in adopting new technologies. Leveraging the talent of our members, the influence of our network, and the power of our mission, LISTA will turn potential problems into special opportunities. LISTA’s four-tiered FASE approach will improve the quality of care Latinos receive, the kinds of jobs our workers are prepared to take on, and our community’s economic viability in the new millennium.

Boasting over 3,700 professional members from all over the country, LISTA works for the interests of the Latino technology community and working professionals as well as everyone with whom we live, work with and are proud to count among our own.
