To address the needs of cancer survivors, the LIVESTRONG organization created a cancer survivorship training curriculum to increase the number of community health workers, otherwise known as promotoras, and their skills, knowledge and confidence on the physical, emotional and day-to-day concerns of cancer survivors.
To date, LIVESTRONG has trained more than 500 promotores across the country.
