MHP Salud implements Community Health Worker Programs to empower underserved Latino communities and promotes the CHW model nationally as a culturally appropriate strategy to improve health.
MHP Salud is a national nonprofit organization that implements and runs Community Health Worker programs. These programs provide peer health education, increase access to health resources and bring community members closer. MHP Salud also has extensive experience offering health organizations training and technical assistance on CHW programming tailored to their specific needs.
Without you, MHP Salud could not deliver our time-tested and outcomes-driven models of community health outreach.
Our free health resources are culturally and linguistically appropriate, easy-to-use, and created specifically for CHW programs.
MHP Salud desarrolla materiales que son culturalmente aceptables y fáciles de entender para trabajadores del campo y sus comunidades.
“We had long dreamed of integrating Promotores into our migrant health services…
With the assistance of MHP Salud, that dream became a reality. We rely on MHP Salud for everything from orienting our staff to the Camp Health Aide model, to providing us with ‘user friendly’ training materials, to developing culturally appropriate methods of evaluating community needs and the impact of our peer education activities from the perspective of the Promotores themselves.”
Susan Bauer, Director of Program Development, Community Health Partnership of Illinois
News and Updates from MHP Salud
Community Health Workers Improve Mental Health Outcomes
Community Health Workers/Promotores(as) de Salud are well-situated to address mental health concerns in underserved communities. They act as a bridge between affected individuals and available resources. Community Health Workers combat stigma by educating and conducting outreach on mental health within the community.
CHWs Can Meet the Health Needs of Island Residents
In 2015, chronic diseases (those that are not infectious but rather have slow progression and long duration) accounted for over two-thirds of all deaths in the Pacific Islands. Tragically, 70-75% of deaths in the Pacific Islands are considered premature, occurring before age 60. There is clearly a demonstrated need for high quality, cost-effective healthcare services.
