Promotores de Salud is excited to collaborate with the South River Watershed Coalition to host the annual Riverfest in downtown Waynesboro.🐟This springtime event brings the community together to enjoy warm weather, food, games, prizes, and opportunities to learn about the history and science of our local watershed. Highlights include the duck release in the South River at Constitution Park and a special screening of the short film “Chessie’s Big Adventure.”
As April is National Minority Health Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about health disparities and promoting better health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority communities, PDS plays a vital role in community outreach. Our program focuses on promoting health education within the Latino community and those living and working in and around Waynesboro, as well as along the South and South Fork Shenandoah River. We provide guidance from the fish consumption advisories and help explain the potential effects of mercury exposure. We educate Spanish speakers and other community members while collaborating with nonprofit partners to share important information widely among impacted populations.
If you have any questions, would like to be a part of our Spanish or English cohort for the Community Health Worker program, or just stay up to date on our work, feel free to send us a DM or follow our page on Instagram, Facebook and now even on TikTok. 💙
