Our organizations goals are to improve peoples health, wellness, and quality of life by educating families about healthy lifestyles and increasing their access to health services by removing language and cultural barriers.
SISTERS hosts the oldest Promotora de Salud program in Colorado. Promotor/a de Salud is a health promotion and harm reduction education and advocacy program. Although only recently recognized by the Center for Disease Control as a best practice for its effectiveness in Latino communities, Promotoras de Salud are well known throughout Mexico and Central America as front line community health workers.
Our health promotion and harm reduction education utilizes a unique and culturally relevant holistic curriculum Mind, Body, Spirit and empowers participants to access meaningful healthcare and support services through community activism, advocacy, information exchange, referrals, and art as social justice.
This video was produced by Belinda Garcia, Executive Director of SOCUE. It outlines how Colorado's oldest Promotora program came to be.
