Bridges to Health in the news
Columbia Community Connection
This story is the third in a three-part series on the Bridges to Health program, its staff, clients, and role in the community, especially during COVID-19.
Lissette Rivera grew up in Hood River and started interpreting from English to Spanish for her parents when she was six years old. She often went to medical appointments with her family members to help them understand the doctors. As Community Health Worker (CHW) with Bridges to Health, Lissette is able to relate to her clients because her family experienced similar challenges.
