"The Paso a Paso (Step by Step) program is one of an ever-growing list of programs Providence is bringing to the many communities we live and work in. The program offers free health education and assistance to the Latino community that’s served by St. Joseph and Redwood Memorial Hospitals. Paso a Paso’s expert, bilingual staff provides:
- Childbirth education
- Breast-feeding support
- Parenting classes
- Home visits
- Resource referrals
- Support groups
We (the author) sat down with Jessica Clothier, lead community health worker of Paso a Paso, for more details about the program that is rooted in the Providence mission of helping our vulnerable community members. What she describes paints a clear picture of their vision to help Latino families feel comfortable speaking with somebody in their language who truly understands their culture. These resources have been especially important during the pandemic that has added even more isolation for new parents who may be struggling to connect in their communities."
