Community health workers (CHWs) and promotores de salud are frontline health workers who typically come from the communities they serve. Despite providing crucial services, they are not institutionalized (or integrated) within much of the U.S. health care system. Many work, either officially or unofficially, as medical interpreters--restricting their full impact as CHWs/promotores. In this paper, we detail the misemployment and its effects among a subsample of CHWs/promotores in two geographically distinct, exploratory projects. We encourage that collaborative research with CHWs/promotores continue and that fidelity to the CHW model be ensured to realize their true potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
