They are trained to educate women about healthy behaviors before, during and between pregnancies, encouraging non-pregnant women to schedule and attend well women exams, promotion of smoking cessation resources, knowledgeable of low-cost clinics and existing services available in their communities, and in improving communication with health care providers.
Health-e-Arizona Application Providers
Promotoras are trained and certified in the following areas:
SNAP 
What is SNAP (Food-stamps)?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the new name for Food Stamps. SNAP helps limited income individuals increase their food budget to buy healthy food in Arizona. SNAP benefits are called Nutrition Assistance benefits. There is no cost to apply/receive SNAP benefits. If you are eligible, you can apply and receive the Nutrition Assistance benefits at no charge.
AHCCCS
What is AHCCCS (Medicaid)?
Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is Arizona’s Medicaid agency that offers health care programs, including medical, behavioral health, and long-term care services to serve Arizona low-income residents, including those with developmental disabilities. The Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental Disabilities (DES/DDD) is required by Arizona revised statute to be the provider of services to persons with a developmental disability.
Women’s Health Coalition helps families determine eligibility for AHCCCS (Medicaid) and/or SNAP (Food stamps) and provides assistance at every step of the application process to obtain benefits. When it’s time to renew AHCCCS coverage, the Women’s Health Coalition provides assistance to the families with that process, too. Individuals must meet certain income and other requirements to obtain services. Families that do not qualify for AHCCCS are connected to other no-cost or low-cost medical and dental care in the community.
