Lia Hsu-Rodriguez

At CSSP

Support DULCE’s anti-racist, community-based approach to supporting families by promoting the healthy development of infants and addressing social determinants of health.

I do this work because

I have seen first-hand how the American health system not only neglects, but actively harms communities, including my own—and I am dedicated to ensuring that harm does not continue.

I am most proud of

My work alongside Diné community health representatives on Navajo Nation, in helping understand how health communication works as a tool for equity and justice.
