L.E.A.P. Program
(Leadership, Education, Action, Promotora)
Coming soon!
In the ‘Promotora’ community health worker model, a well-known and trusted community leader—in many instances a mother or grandmother— receives formal community-building and health training. The education is shared with neighbors and community members seeking assistance with navigating the healthcare system, managing or preventing disease and even learning about complex health issues, including mental health and substance abuse. ‘Promotora’ programs have been instrumental in helping healthcare systems outreach to hard-to-reach populations, including the uninsured, underinsured and undocumented. These populations tend to shy from preventative care and often seek care in the emergency room. This type of innovative outreach is even
more important in the current political times, where uninsured populations, especially the undocumented, fear seeking services for fear of deportation. The most important components of a successful ‘Promotora’ program include:
• Trusted backbone organization providing support and coordination
• Full to part time employee for program coordination
• Initial curriculum/training for ‘Promotora’ capacity building
• Health-focused training (healthcare access and insurance coverage, diabetes prevention, nutrition, etc.)
• Stipends to compensate ‘Promotoras’ for their time and promotion
efforts
Once a ‘Promotora’ receives the capacity building training, they go our in their neighborhoods and connect with individuals and families facing ‘Access to Care’ barriers. Promotoras often help families with navigating coverage, establishing linkage with a primary care provider, among others.
