The Hmong and Hispanic Communication Network (H2N) is a project that utilizes Health Navigators and a network of Community Health Workers (CHW) to advance health equity for Hmong, Hispanic, Rural, and other vulnerable communities. H2N team members identify barriers to health and help to bridge gaps between health systems, public health, resource agencies, and the individuals and communities we serve to improve health outcomes.
Since May of 2020, H2N clinics and outreach efforts have provided over 2,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines, over 1,400 doses of flu vaccines, over 1,300 blood pressure screenings, over 500 diabetes screenings, and thousands with vaccine and health-related resources in their own language. Community members are also encouraged to share their concerns and ideas, which allows H2N to better understand and serve these communities.
