About

    Promotoras, also known as community health workers, are individuals who are trained to provide health education, support, and advocacy within their communities. They often come from the same cultural or ethnic background as the individuals they serve, making them trusted and relatable sources of information. Promotoras play a vital role in promoting health and wellness, particularly in underserved or marginalized communities where access to healthcare may be limited. Their work may involve providing information on preventive care, helping individuals navigate the healthcare system, and advocating for improved health outcomes. Promotoras are increasingly recognized for their ability to bridge the gap between healthcare providers and the communities they serve, ultimately improving health equity and outcomes.
