COSECHA: Promotor de Salud Outreach Network Responds to COVID in Florida’s Farmworker Corridor

Cosecha is a statewide Promotor de Salud (Community Health Worker) network serving the Florida Farmworker Corridor. Focusing on pertinent health and justice information as it relates to COVID-19, Cosecha serves Hispanic/Latinx farmworker communities in Florida. Overseen by Alianza Americas, and co-developed by the RWHP, Cosecha included partners at RCMA, Women Working Together, and WeCount! Together, we comprised of 73 Promotores de Salud disseminating health information through monthly campaigns in 21 counties across the state.

As the implementors, the RWHP had the privilege of developing and creating popular education campaigns that were shared throughout the statewide network. Through our network, the 73 promotores, shared the same campaign information in their respective communities through diverse outreach strategies.

For the nine months of the program, The RWHP created a mix of print and audiovisual materials in Spanish and Mayan indigenous languages Mam, Mixteco Alto, Kiche, Ixil, and Q’anjob’al.
