San Pedro Seeks More Community Health Workers

The Labour Department’s San Pedro branch is actively recruiting community health workers on the island.  These workers would serve to bridge healthcare gaps for vulnerable residents, particularly shut-ins and elderly persons who are unable to travel regularly for medical checkups.  Labour Officer Shameika Cattouse told Love News that San Pedro is currently experiencing a shortage of community health workers in this capacity, creating an urgent need for more persons to get involved.  According to Cattousse, the initiative is not considered full-time employment, but rather a community-based support role designed to strengthen healthcare outreach.

The Labour Department says interested individuals do not necessarily need to be trained nurses or medical professionals, but applicants should possess a strong sense of responsibility, compassion, and willingness to work closely with healthcare personnel and vulnerable residents.
