Who Are Community Health Workers?
Community Health Workers (CHW), or Promotores de Salud, are trained staff members who work to improve public health and access to life-saving services. Our team includes trusted community members who understand the makeup of surrounding cities and can help residents navigate various community-based services, state and national benefits programs, and financial and healthcare resources. They are experts in navigating complex systems of care and listen to client stories and concerns to determine the best route for assistance. When you come in for a consultation, a FIND CHW will walk you step-by-step through benefits applications, financial resource programs, and other opportunities to improve health and well-being.
Please call 760.835.5234 to schedule an appointment and determine what documents you need to access financial assistance and other community and state-funded resources. Our highly trained team will walk you through what benefits you qualify for and help you apply!
