Promotores

The PASOs program focuses on cultural strengths, building bridges between the Latino community and the health care system. One of the core programs of the PASOs program model is the development of training for grassroots leaders called “Promotores” (Community Health Workers). The PASOs program in Charleston currently works with Promotores who receive regular training in topics related to health promotion as well as capacity building training through the facilitation of workshops. Promotores participate in outreach events and provide one-on-one assistance and advocacy to community members as they navigate health systems.
