Health Education

Latinas Contra Cancer (LCC) provides culturally and linguistically sensitive health education to build the power of individuals with knowledge, dispel myths, and foster open, judgment-free discussions. Our Promotoras Model, a trusted peer-led approach, ensures that community members receive the support they need to navigate cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship.

Promotoras are trained community members who share lived experiences with those they serve, making them uniquely positioned to address healthcare barriers. They provide education in a way that is culturally relevant and linguistically appropriate, helping individuals understand their health, access services, and make informed decisions.

By breaking down systemic barriers and providing personalized guidance, our health education program increases early detection, screening, and testing, reducing health disparities in the Latiné community. Through our Promotoras Model, LCC continues to build the power of individuals to advocate for their health and well-being.

Now a Medi-Cal Contracted CHW Service!

We are excited to announce that our Health Education program is now a Community Health Worker (CHW) service contracted through Medi-Cal! This means even greater access to culturally and linguistically tailored cancer education and support for our community.

Through interactive events and info sessions, our CHWs provide trusted, community-based guidance to help individuals understand cancer risks, access screenings, and navigate healthcare resources with confidence.

By breaking down barriers to information and care, we’re working to reduce health disparities and improve early detection—because knowledge is power, and prevention saves lives.
