Our health workers come from the neighborhoods they serve.
That is the whole point.
Our health workers are nurses, certified medical assistants, and community members with deep roots in the places they serve. They speak English, Spanish, Kreyòl ayisyen, Kriolu, and Vietnamese.
They know the farmers market schedule, the senior center hours, and which bus line gets you there. They are the bridge between communities and the clinical care that serves them. They make that care more reachable, more trusted, and more effective.
They are the reason people come back.
Named. Neighborhood-rooted. In their own words.

At the farmers market. At the senior center. On the block.
“I came to the farmers market for vegetables and left with my life. My blood pressure was 182/110. I didn’t feel anything wrong. The health coach found it and got me to a doctor the same day. Six months later, I’m on medication and my numbers are normal.”
