• ALPES (Alianza Latina Pro-Educacion en Salud) is
  an alliance made up of many Latino community
  leaders and WCHS employees who share an interest
  in promoting and improving the health and quality
  of life of Latinos in Wake County. ALPES has been
  meeting every 2nd Monday of the month for nearly
  10 years and played a significant role in
  bringing the gang problem to the county's
  purview. ALPES has served to educate the Latino
  community on a variety of issues including,
  HIV/AIDS, DWI, legal and health issues
  surrounding prostitution, and pertinent
  information for new immigrants to name a few.
• The membership of ALPES is composed of
  faith-based organizations, community-based
  organizations, academic institutions, hospitals,
  health organizations, local government entities,
  and community representatives (individuals
  interested in developing the ALPES goals and
  mission).

ALPES goals

  life of Latinos in Wake County
• To provide effective cultural and linguistic
  technical assistance, capacity building, advice,
  and support to community representatives and
  agencies
• To promote networking opportunities among
  community partners, nonprofit organizations, and
  agencies for sharing information, resources, and
  potential funding opportunities
• To provide advice for the development of
  community-based goals that can be used throughout
  Wake County to address health and quality-of-life
  disparities among the Latino community
• To provide a forum for the development of
  lay-community leaders, through active
  participation in ALPES meetings and initiatives
