Promotores Collaborative of San Luis Obispo
Mission: To build, foster, and support a network of Promotores throughout San Luis Obispo County by providing training, emotional support, and materials to empower a healthier community.
Vision: We envision sustainable, diverse, comprehensive and equal access to healthcare and services among all our members of our community
Guiding Principles:
- All people have a right to equal access to health services.
- Healthy communities utilize culturally and linguistically compatible tools, resources, and information to make informed, autonomous decisions about their health and wellness.
- Linguistic and cultural sensitivity throughout the health care system promote equality among diverse community members.
- Empowerment is key to sustainably supporting healthy communities.
- Collaboration and alliance building are essential in breaking down barriers to healthy living.
Promotores Collaborative Goal:
To develop a sustainable, diverse, and comprehensive culture that promotes equal access to community resources and services among all members of the Hispanic community in San Luis Obispo County.
In order to do so, we must ensure that the basic needs of all San Luis Obipso County residents are met. Access to inclusive and wide-ranging resource options is a fundamental component to sustaining a truly healthy community; without it, we can cannot begin to tackle the countless health issues that disproportionately affect the most vulnerable in our communities. After completing 40 hours of training, the Promotores are provided with the tools needed to work as advocates, change agents, and partners with local agencies for positive change.
