The Promoters

Simply stated, health promoters are the backbone of APS. APS is hard at work building a community-based primary health care system, and the foundation of that system is the promoter. They are natural helpers in every way and the solution to many of the challenges Nicaraguan communities face every day in achieving better health. Spending time with a health promoter is an unforgettable experience, and if you have an interest in doing so just let us know.

Here is a list of all the promoters we work with and the villages they serve . . . as volunteers.
