In varied forms and approaches, community health
promoters enable broader and deeper connections between community residents and the organizations that serve them, including
community clinics.Moving with relative comfort
and grace beyond a community clinic’s four walls,
health promoters assist clinics by knitting together
resources and delivering messages that advance
the health of the community.
For this brief, we examined eight NCH grant projects that use community health promoters as a primary strategy to reach their NCH goals. We describe the roles that health promoters have
played in the NCH projects, the effectiveness of this
strategy and the lessons clinics are learning from
their experiences.
