Using our personal experiences to help San Antonio

Community Health Workers (CHWs) have many different types of roles and can work in a variety of settings.  We’re from the community, and we’re trained and certified to help others.

Our Work

What Community Health Workers do

As Community Health Workers (CHWs), we provide outreach and build trust in our communities, support connections to care and support services, and other activities to assist people in prevention and recovery services. 

The goal is to advance public health, reduce health disparities, and help underserved populations achieve health equity.
