“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.”

Studying donated brain tissue from 423 individuals who had died after a dementia diagnosis, researchers discovered that Latinos were more likely to also have heart and blood-related issues than other ethnicities. These findings have led health professionals to the startling realization that if you are Latino and suffer from hypertension or diabetes, you’re at higher risk for dementia. Here are 5 ways Community Health Workers can help Latinos adopt heart-healthy habits to reduce their risk of chronic diseases.
