• Kern County Symposium Highlights Future of Promotora Work (southkernsol.org) — Community health leaders are looking at how promotora programs can better serve Kern County communities like Arvin, where residents often travel far for basic services. A recent symposium explored turning these trusted community roles into more stable, paid jobs, potentially funded in part through Medi-Cal. Organizers stressed that any expansion must protect the deep relationships promotoras already have with local families.
