Health Education

In Gurnee, IL, the Health Education Program is dedicated to empowering immigrants and their families in Lake County with essential knowledge about health and wellness. We cover crucial topics such as Nutrition, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Women’s Health, Cancer, Depression, and Dental Health. Our services include large group seminars conducted in Spanish by volunteer professionals, held four times a year, complete with childcare to engage children in health-related lessons. Additionally, we offer small group presentations, or charlas, led by trained Promotoras de Salud, which can take place in homes or public spaces based on preferences. Our aim is to bring healthcare directly to the community through health fairs and mobile clinics, making health education accessible and relevant for everyone.
