SDRI’s Community Health Workers Bridge Gaps in Care
Community Health Workers (CHW) play a vital role in our efforts to promote health equity by bridging gaps in healthcare access and education.
These dedicated individuals, who are part of the local Latino community, are trained at SDRI to become specialists in diabetes and research programs, working closely with community members to provide culturally competent care, support self-management practices, and, empower individuals to take control of their health and diabetes.
We Are Trained Experts
Our CHWs have each completed hundreds of hours of training from reputable institutions including March of Dimes, the University of Southern California, and Visión y Compromiso.
Their local knowledge allows them to address cultural nuances and concerns that contribute to health disparities, including food insecurity and limited transportation, providing participants with improved access to quality healthcare.
Critical Support: SDRI’s Community Health Workers Improve Diabetes Outcomes in Latinos
SDRI’s CHWs are an integral part of our clinical care and diabetes education teams and help using improving health outcomes for Latino participants with multiple socio-economic barriers which hinder achievement of optimal diabetes control.
