Marlen Ramirez serves as Vaccinate Your Family’s Program Coordinator, supporting VYF’s advocacy and education work. Marlen is a Community Health Worker (CHW) and a Community Health Worker Instructor (CHWI) in Texas. She was drawn to public health because she comes from a culture that does not usually promote health education. Through her work as a CHW/CHWI, Marlen connects people to public health resources and helps them make informed medical decisions. Marlen’s passionate approach to health promotion and health equity has significantly impacted health education in the communities she serves. Through her work, she aims to improve the health and well-being of children and families, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations.
