Ambassadors Tabetha Clark and Hector Salazar led an informative and engaging presentation that covered the risks, warning signs, and preventative steps for maintaining a healthy heart.

The focus was on importance of regular checkups, nutrition, physical activity, and stress management—reminding us that heart health is a lifelong commitment.

A big thank you to Tabetha and Hector for their clear, compassionate delivery, and to everyone who attended and helped us wrap up a successful month of health education during Mental Health Awareness Month!

Kicking Off Mental Health Awareness Month at LETI

On Saturday, May 3rd, we launched our first LETI Interprofessional Health Talk of the month with a powerful presentation on mental health—a fitting start to Mental Health Awareness Month. The session was led by ambassador Luke La Mue and medical student Karina Lopez, who brought compassion and insight to a vital and often stigmatized topic.

Together, they explored the importance of mental well-being, strategies for self-care, and how to access support in times of need. Their presentation encouraged thoughtful conversation and offered practical tools for everyday mental health.

Thank you to Luke and Karina for creating a welcoming, informative space for our community, and to all who attended and participated.
