Advancing the CHW Profession
We are a national nonprofit organization that implements and runs Community Health Worker (CHW) 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.
We have taken our innovative, outcomes-driven CHW programming to offer you the tools to make it work in your system, with your providers, and for your population.

This month's feature is about Sofia's journey from CHW to Health Educator and David, who also became a Health Educator, but unlike Sofia, he did not start out as a CHW. These stories illustrate how the CHW profession builds skillsets that are desirable across industries.
Migrant Seasonal Agricultural Workers (MSAW) are part of the underserved groups considered essential during the ongoing pandemic. More than 80 percent of MSAWs in the U.S. are Hispanic/Latino. Hispanic/Latino adults have a rate of about 50 percent of developing Diabetes Type 2 due to genetics, food, culture, weight, and activity.
Older adults have been identified as a group that should receive vaccines as soon as possible. As has been widely reported in the media, the risk of death and severe illness from COVID-19 increases with age. In fact, older adults are more likely to experience severe illness from the disease, and roughly 8 out of every 10 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. occur among this age group.
Our free health resources are culturally and linguistically appropriate, easy-to-use, and created specifically for CHW programs.
We believe that building a strong network of engaged partners is a strong step towards improving health outcomes across America.
MHP Salud has developed and established Community Health Worker programs to improve the health status of Latinos across the nation.
The experience we’ve gained along the way fuels our training curriculum. We help organizations serve and empower communities across the nation.
