  • Health Access for Latino Families

    Through grants from Sutter and Kaiser, the LLC helps Latino adults access health, dental, vision, nutrition and mental health supports and services. Promotores perform home visits; make referrals to health providers; coordinate community-based health screenings; organize wellness classes and programs; and advocate for Latino families who need additional or more advanced medical services. More importantly, promotores help families find a medical home so that they experience improved health and decreased emergency medical treatment resulting from delayed access.

  • Prenatal and Early Childhood Support

    First 5 Placer Healthy children begin with healthy pregnancies. Our prenatal program helps connect women to prenatal care early to ensure that they remain healthy throughout their pregnancies, deliver healthy babies and provide a supportive environment for their children to thrive. We facilitate Mami Y Yo groups with mothers and children to teach age-appropriate behaviors and healthy habits, such as dental care. These groups not only support the healthy development of children but also connect mothers with each other for social supports.
