The Population Health team is a FREE resource available to help you reach your health and wellness goals.


Nurse Health Coaches work one-on-one with patients and their families to evaluate health needs, environmental factors, and other barriers to their health and wellness. They then help patients establish plans and goals to achieve a healthy lifestyle. They work closely with local and state resources to ensure that each person receives the support that they need.
The Population Health Team at Promise Community Health Center is focused on helping patients navigate their health journeys with confidence and care.
Led by Population Health Manager Amanda Rickard, the team includes Nurse Health Coaches Lorilyn Van Dyke and Tara Vyn, who offer personalized support and guidance for healthy living. Ruth Hernandez serves as the Population Health Navigator, connecting patients to vital resources, while Andrea Gonzalez coordinates transportation services to ensure access to care is never out of reach. Together, this dedicated team works to remove barriers and promote wellness for every patient we serve.
