What is a remote promotora?

Remote Promotoras are community health workers who provide education, resources, and support to individuals and families, typically from similar cultural backgrounds, but do so virtually or from a remote location. They play a vital role in promoting health, improving access to healthcare services, and addressing social determinants of health. Using phone calls, video conferencing, and digital communication tools, remote promotoras connect with community members to share information, coordinate care, and offer guidance on health-related issues. This role is especially important for reaching underserved or hard-to-access populations.
