The Health Promoters Program is based on the principle that community members are often a trusted source of health information for their communities. RWN's health promoters program is designed to connect refugee and immigrant women as bicultural, bilingual bridges between their ethnic communities and the health care system.

Measurable Successes: In 2007, Refugee Women's Network, Inc. undertook an outcome  evaluation of the Health Promoter program. It  revealed that participants:

• reduced the fat and sugar content of meals prepared at home
• increased water, fruit, and vegetable consumption
• lowered their cholesterol and blood sugar counts
