The Adelane PROMOTORES CONFERENCE IS A ONE-Day CONFERENCE FOR
PROMOTORES, Community Health Workers and others working for a better
community. The annual ADELANTE PROMOTORES CONFERENCE IS IN
CELEBRATION OF THE COMMITMENT, heart, and work of the PROMOTORES (and
other community leaders) and aims to increase the professional and
personal capacities of PROMOTORES BY TEACHING RELEVANT skills and
knowledge on various health topics affecting our communities.
Healthy communities are a core aim of the SAN DIEGO County PROMOTORES
COALITION. Healthy communities are those with the expertise and
knowledge to access health services and resources creating a community
conducive to health. This year’s CONFERENCE FOCUSES ON THE
UNIFICATION OF PROMOTORES AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHWs) in
creating and maintaining healthy communities. How do we create healthy
communities? Invest in PROMOTORES AND CHWS. PROMOTORES AND CHWS ARE
EFFECTIVE IN EDUCATING AND LINKING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO HEALTH
RESOURCES AND SERVICES. To create healthy communities we must create
health systems that look beyond the clinic, reach individuals where
they are, in a culturally competent way, to overcome barriers
preventing communities from reaching their full health potential.
During workshops, participants will be able to attend and participate
in skills based trainings and health topic lectures and discussions
all while building community and networks within their profession.
