Beginning as the Promotores Education Committee (PEC) in 2009, the committee was initially\u00a0 comprised of employers, researchers, governmental agencies, educators, community-based organizations, and Promotores\/Community Health Workers (CHWs) interested in raising awareness surrounding the CHW model and the unique role that Promotores\/CHWs can play in increasing access to information, resources and care in their respective communities. In 2015, the Committee was expanded to form the San Diego County Promotores Coalition to create a space for both agencies and Promotores\/CHWs to come together, share, and inform each other\u2019s work. The Coalition continues to advance the work of Promotores and their employers to reach underserved populations and increase health equity. <\/span><\/p>\n
