Expressing support for the designation of October as "National Promotoras Month".
This House resolution expresses support for designating October as "National Promotoras Month" to recognize the contributions of community health workers, often called promotoras, who serve as trusted messengers in underserved and marginalized communities. The bill highlights how these workers help bridge gaps between healthcare systems and populations in rural areas, Tribal nations, and immigrant communities by providing culturally appropriate education and support for chronic diseases and maternal health. It calls on the government to strengthen this workforce through sustainable funding, equitable compensation, and professional development, while encouraging collaboration between federal agencies and local organizations to expand their programs.
