Community health and wellness - centro supports the health and wellbeing of individuals and families in Washington county and beyond with direct service support and by addressing social determinants of health. Centro embraces a bilingual and bicultural community health model to address the disproportionate outcomes that low-income, latino and communities of color experience. Community health workers assist individuals to identify available community resources, navigate complex health systems and programs, and connect to advocacy to improve public health.

Seniors come to edad de oro for social connection, to participate in activities, and for help in securing resources such as health care, nutritious food, and opportunities to give back through volunteering. Centro coordinates statewide programs through the ventanilla de salud program in a partnership with the mexican consulate in portland to reach spanish-speaking individuals throughout the state of Oregon.
