Health Outreach Benefits San Joaquin Valley Immigrants
Two new studies by the Central Valley Health Policy Institute at California State University-Fresno indicate that Hispanic immigrants who had access to a health educator were more likely to receive regular preventive health care services than other immigrants. The health educators, called promotoras, helped the immigrants find regular doctors and affordable health care.
