Model Programs
La Clínica believes that a healthy community produces and nurtures healthy individuals, and that healthy individuals are able to bring about and maintain a healthy community. In no department is this belief more strongly placed into action that in the Community Health Education section (Casa CHE) of the Health Education Department. Casa CHE's work is based in Brazilian educator Paulo Freire's "conscientization" movement of having people actively participate in and take responsibility for their own education, while promoting the idea that the community is capable of creating positive social change.
