Our Network
Community Health
Workers (CHWs) and
Promotoras
play a critical role in promoting
community-based health education and prevention,
particularly in communities that have been
historically underserved by the U.S. health care
system. CHWs and
Promotoras
represent a rich spectrum of characteristics
that makes them the bridge between health care
institutions, professional providers and
community residents in need of health care
services.
For this reason, through grounded
theory methodology
Visión y
Compromiso integrates the CHW/Promotora
perspective into its mission, vision, objectives
and activities. The main goal of
Visión y Compromiso
is to support Promotoras to maintain the
integrity and authenticity of their work.
