PASOs health leaders also will assist their peers in navigating the complex U.S. healthcare system and in understanding the changes brought about by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

Margarita Franco, Director of Community Leadership Development, will lead the Promotores Project expansion

 

 

Lucy Willms, Director of Training and Evaluation will support staff development and project evaluation.
