One of our goals has been to build capacity and economic stability for Promotores de Salud/Community Health Workers in Oregon. We are proud to announce that our first cohort in Somos Salud – Familias’ culturally-specific, Spanish language CHW Training & Certification Program – was a huge success.
We had a total of 24 graduates with participants from 8 organizations across Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, and Marion County.
In addition to offering the 90-hour training, we hope to provide continuing education opportunities for Promotores to maintain their certification, as well as one-on-one support for Promotores who need assistance with the application and renewal process.
Our next cohort starts on June 13-August 2, 8:30am-4pm. It will be held in-person and in Spanish.
