What is an assistant promotora?

Assistant Promotoras are community health workers who support Promotoras, or lead community health advocates, in delivering health education and outreach services to local communities, particularly within underserved populations. They help organize health events, distribute educational materials, and connect individuals with healthcare resources. Assistant Promotoras often share cultural and linguistic backgrounds with the communities they serve, making them effective at building trust and improving health outcomes. Their work is vital in bridging gaps between healthcare providers and community members.
