Community-Centric Care

A Mission Rooted in Personal Experience
Founded by Erik Cardenas and Mariza Hardin, Zócalo Health was born from personal experiences witnessing the lack of access to quality healthcare in Latino communities. This inspired them to create a healthcare model that is by Latinos, for Latinos, combining spiritual practices with modern medicine and today’s technology.
Testimonials from the Comunidad
The impact of Zócalo Health is best expressed through the voices of its members:
- “Zócalo actually reached out and helped. They asked, ‘Do you need us to help fill out an application?’ No one’s ever said that. I don’t know how to say it in another language, but I don’t know how to fill out an application. Zócalo understood that process.” — Maria C.
- “My promotora de salud is very kind and patient. I’m a question person, so I always apologize that I have to ask all these questions. And she’s like, ‘No, you’re good. We have the time.'” — Luis R
- “You guys have been giving me all the help. If I have a question about food, my promotora is on top of it to give me different resources. Also with finding diapers for my child, she’s so helpful.” — Elena S.
