Migrant Health Promotion builds on community strengths to improve health in farmworker and border communities. Programs provide peer health education, increase access to health resources and bring community members together with health providers, employers and policymakers to create positive changes. Community leaders, called Promotores and Promotoras de Salud, provide the inspiration, direction and vision necessary to build stronger, healthier communities — from within. Migrant Health Promotion maintains offices in Michigan and in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas. In addition, Migrant Health Promotion actively shares its expertise, materials and resources for developing Promotor(a) programs with health centers and other organizations across the country.
