History
Promotor@s Las Vegas (PLV) started in 2020 as a group of volunteer community health workers who shared the same dream and passion of helping the Hispanic community to eliminate language and cultural barriers by facilitating access to health education, health services, and community resources to underinsured, underserved minorities.
PLV became a Nevada nonprofit organization towards the end of 2022 greatly supported by The Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) who’s Department of Chronic Disease Prevention became one of PLV’s biggest mentors and collaborators.
PLV strives to understand what are the needs of the community, and create partnerships and programs geared towards meeting those needs. Which is why in addition to having 8 preventive health active programs in partnership with the SNHD, Promotor@s Las Vegas has also expanded its efforts to areas such as education, social justice, environmental equity, wellness and mental health.
