New Routes to Community Health is a program / project based in Wisconsin that is using immigrant-created media (video, podcasts, radio programs, etc.) to educate immigrant communities about health-related issues.
Media projects include videos and audio programs that discuss issues as diverse as H1N1 flu, sexually transmitted diseases, childhood obesity, and mental illness & depression. All media projects can be accessed on their website at http://newroutes.org.
Although the majority of the media resources are not in English (and thus not so applicable for English language learning projects) they provide a wealth of information to the immigrant adults we serve in ABE programs. Take a few moments to explore their site (click media to view examples) and share the information with your learners.
Here's one example of the content from their site:

Students got cell phones? Try Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere is a service that allows you to get feedback from your audience (as a presenter) or class (as a teacher) and represent that feedback as a graph LIVE as it comes in. You can display results in a web browser or in a Power Point slide.
If your students are hooked on cell phone text messaging, Poll Everywhere gives you a tool to hook them into your lesson using a medium they know and love.
Here is an example of a Poll Everywhere poll, which accepts either text message input or input from this web widget. Try it out at www.polleverywhere.com.
