Expressing support for the designation of October as "National Promotoras Month".

This resolution states the House of Representatives' support for designating October as "National Promotoras Month." Promotoras, also called community health workers, provide health education, prevention, and support services within their own communities. The resolution recognizes their work, commits the House to supporting policies on funding, workforce development, and pay for this workforce, and encourages federal, state, territorial, Tribal, and community groups to expand promotora-led programs, especially in rural areas. It also directs the Clerk of the House to send copies to relevant federal agencies and health organizations.
