About us

Building stronger communities

Through Evidence-Based Programs

Raizes Inc. is a community-rooted nonprofit advancing health equity in California’s Imperial Valley— one of the state’s most underserved border regions.

What Sets Us Apart

Community Health Worker Excellence

Our Blooming CHW Certification Program trains bilingual, bicultural Community Health Workers who serve as vital bridges between underserved communities and California’s healthcare system. With [X] % of our graduates employed within 90 days, we’re building the workforce California’s CalAIM initiative needs to succeed.

Managed Care Integration Expertise

Raizes-trained CHWs work directly with Medi-Cal managed care organizations to improve health out comes, reduce emergency department utilization, and lower costs—delivering measurable value for health plans and better care for communities.

Multi-Sector Impact

From environmental justice (From Waste to Green) to youth health programs, we address the social determinants of health through innovative, community-led solutions.

Multi-Sector Impact

As a community-based organization deeply rooted in Imperial Valley, we understand the complex challenges facing border communities—from language barriers and physician shortages (1 per 4,410 resid ents vs. state average of 1 per 1,270) to chronic disease disparities affecting Latino populations. We don’t just train CHWs—we empower community members to become agents of change in their own neighborhoods.

Empowering Communities. Creating Change.

Raizes works to improve the lives of underserved populations through health equity, education, workforce training, and environmental justice. Together, we build stronger, healthier, and more inclusive communities.
