El Programa de Campeones de la Salud Comunitaria es un programa anual de Central Health que reúne a un diverso grupo de miembros de la comunidad de todo el Condado de Travis para aprender, discutir, y colaborar con nuestro trabajo para mejorar la salud del Centro de Texas.
A través de una serie de talleres de cinco meses de duración, los participantes aprenden acerca del sistema de cuidados médicos para los habitantes de escasos recursos económicos del Condado de Travis, y cómo Central Health y sus socios se unen para abordar las disparidades en salud.
Los Campeones de la Salud son desafiados a pensar fuera de sus realidades individuales para convertirse en defensores del acceso y la equidad en los cuidados médicos en sus propias comunidades.
