The Healthy Neighborhood program’s community connectors—as the program’s community health workers are known—approach their work in ways that differ from more traditional CHW programs. The connectors are empowered to develop community programs based on the assets and needs of their communities, as well as their own strengths and interests. Currently, 15 San Antonio neighborhoods participate in the Healthy Neighborhoods program.

San Antonio’s Healthy Neighborhoods program often recruits non-traditional candidates to serve as community health workers/community connectors. The program looks for people who are passionate about the health of their neighbors, are willing to dive into the asset building community development model, and can work independently to create programs that complement their skills.
