SACHWA in collaboration with Día de La Mujer Latina are working together to offer this helpful resource to San Antonio’s Spanish speaking population.
This is a Spanish phone line where people can call or text to request information to connect with community health resources (clinics, wellness programs, immunizations, health insurance resources). People having difficulty scheduling their doctors’ appointments due to the language barrier or who need help finding and obtaining the COVID-19 vaccine are welcome to call or text.
Local Community Health Workers/Promotores de Salud will answer the calls. Also, If you or your organization would like to share information with us on programming/services that promote physical, mental, and spiritual wellness, you may Email that information to chw.nvca@gmail.com and we will add it to our database.
For questions about this service please contact Guadalupe Cornejo at chw.nvca@gmail.com

Community Health Workers/Promotores Bexar County Summit
January 12, 2021 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Colleagues, SAVE the DATE- 12 of January 2021, from 3 pm to 5 pm.
The COVID-19 Community Response Coalition (CRC), Community Health Worker leaders in San Antonio, and Northwest Vista’s Community Health Worker faculty are partnering to host a summit meeting for all Community Health Workers (CHWs) working in Bexar County. The goal of this meeting is to bring together CHWs to create a supportive network to share lessons learned, best practices, key messages, and essential resources for community health workers and for the communities we serve. As we continue to develop strategies and collaborations to combat the current public health crisis posed by COVID-19, community health workers must continue to come together to strengthen our collective impact and to develop supportive peer-to-peer networks and alliances with other disciplines.
Please join us and come prepared to share ideas and to work together.
For questions about the event, please contact Guadalupe Cornejo, Community Health Instructor, Northwest Vista College/CHW Summit Partner at mcornejo2@alamo.edu
