Promoviendo la Salud ~ A New Program
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
EDUCATION: Promoviendo is a promotora based program. Promotoras are bi-lingual, bi-cultural members of the community who have special training in health promotion. They can offer education on specific health issues, suggestions on how to reduce your risk for chronic disease, referrals for where to access medical care, and support in dealing with health problems. Promotoras can do small group presentations, or just meet with clients one on one, to address whatever health concerns you have. ADULT HEALTH SCREENINGS: Promoviendo offers occasional adult health screening throughout the year. These clinics are a great opportunity to check your blood pressure, get weighed, test your lungs, and have a blood test for cholesterol and glucose (blood sugar). Having accurate information about your health status is the first step towards making lifestyle changes to improve your health!
