Un trabajador de salud comunitario es un trabajador de salud pública de primera línea que es un miembro de confianza y/o tiene un conocimiento inusualmente cercano de la comunidad a la que sirve.

El Departamento de Salud del Distrito de South Heartland tiene dos trabajadores de salud comunitarios que conectan a nuestra comunidad con recursos en el área para ayudar a que las personas sean felices y saludables. Ambos trabajadores comunitarios de la salud son entrenadores de estilo de vida para nuestro programa de prevención de la diabetes basado en evidencia, Smart Moves.

Vaccination Program

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program helps immunize children whose parents or guardians cannot afford it. This helps ensure that all children have a better chance of receiving recommended immunizations on time. Vaccines available through the VFC Program are those recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). These vaccines protect babies, young children, and teens from 16 diseases.
