Health Promoters Outreach and Education

Our Health Promoters deliver healthy eating workshops, conduct walking groups (Caminatas) and provide community health and resource information at school health fairs, churches, libraries, as well as amongst neighbors and friends.  Health Promoters also advocate for their community, bringing attention to service gaps, the need for service improvements, through direct advocacy to local elected officials and community leaders.

Latinos disproportionately face many barriers to health care services and suffer from higher rates of heart disease and diabetes, which is why adopting healthy habits to prevent these illnesses is so important.

LHI Health Promoters are trained volunteers who are dedicated to helping members of their community prevent illness and access health resources. Health Promoters are active in their communities:

• Delivering healthy eating workshops
• Conducting Caminatas walking groups
• Providing community resource information at schools, churches, libraries and throughout the County
• Advocating for community needs, bringing attention to service gaps
