Wallace, MD, MPH, Director Department of Public Health and Environment DATE: July 23, 2012 SUBJECT: Ama Tu Vida, Cuida Tu Corazon Promotora Foundation, techniques and tactics training agreement for professional services Enclosed for Board review and approval is the agreement for professional services between the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment and Fernando Pineda. The agreement period is for June 26`1, 2012 in the amount of$800.00. Ama Tu Vida, Cuida Tu Corazon (Love Your Life, Take Care of Your Heart) is an education program targeting the Latino population of Weld County. The goal of the program is to decrease the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among the target population by reducing the risk factors associated with CVD, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. Ama Tu Vida utilizes Spanish speaking Community Health Workers (Promotoras) who receive specialized training to provide basic health education in the community. They also provide guidance in accessing community resources associated with health care. Promotoras serve as liaisons between their community, health professionals, human and social service organizations. As liaisons, they often play the roles of an advocate, educator, mentor, outreach worker, role model, and translator. This agreement will provide Ama Tu Vida, Cuida Tu Corazon's Promotoras the opportunity to receive advanced training by contracting with Fernando Pineda, an experienced Promotora trainer, to teach basic techniques in outreach and motivation of people served, to work with special populations, to teach the importance and history of the promotora model as a best practice in the community and to change health disparities. I recommend approval of this agreement for professional services with Fernando Pineda.
