Healthy Community Program
Promotoras De Corazón
Heart Health and CPR
De Corazon is a Promotoras led health initiative offering Spanish-language CPR certification workshops. Villa Comunitaria supports trained facilitators to meet, plan and deliver CPR training. The workshops are fully certified by the Northwest Medical Training Group. We provide classes in the community of South Park community members and beyond.
Heart to Heart
In 2019 we expanded to introduce a prevention program that will help families and individuals to make better choices in their lives and protect the health of the heart:
- Respira Corazon (Stress Management/Self Care)- Learn effective methods to cope with stressful situations and recognize the signs and symptoms of anxiety.
- Nutriendo Al Corazon (Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Nutrition Program)-Classes for community members to learn about healthy eating and ways to monitor diabetes and lower blood pressure.
- En Comunidad (Talking from the Heart)- Connect with fellow neighbors and community leaders to learn and speak about health topics that affect the Latinx community. And to learn how to access and navigate Medicaid and Medicare services available to community members.

Villa Comunitaria has partnered with the City of Seattle to promote the Fresh Bucks access to healthy food program in the City of Seattle.
