Health Promoters and Community Programs Covington and Lexington
The Promotores program offers a free 40-hour health education program to volunteers who agree to share their new health knowledge with their family, friends, and others in the community. The training, conducted over 7-10 weeks, covers a variety of health topics, such as basic hygiene, women's health, prevention and treatment of common health problems, local health resources, children's health, HIV/AIDS, and others. Class members complete CPR and First Aid certification during the course, and also learn to take blood pressure. Promotores are given a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff. Upon completion of the program, Promotores meet periodically to update their knowledge, and sponsor community education programs such as health fairs. Classes are taught in Spanish, but are also offered in English for groups as needed.
