Health Promoters Program

The Health Promoters Program consists of a group of bilingual and bicultural community health advocates, known as Health Promoters, who serve on the frontline at community outreach events. Health Promoters are a vital aspect of AAHI’s outreach efforts, acting as gatekeepers between AAHI and the multiple Asian American communities within the County. Using their intimate knowledge of the local community, Health Promoters assist AAHI in providing culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate health services to the diverse Asian community. In turn, AAHI provides Health Promoters with regular trainings to educate and empower them so that they can serve as assets to their community and can support AAHI in their community outreach efforts.
