Heidy Hernandez, Medical Assistant, and Interpreter is HERE FOR EVERY STEP!
Heidy Hernandez started her journey at Promise Community Health Center in December 2017. She plays many roles at Promise such as being a Medical Assistant for the Women’s Health/OB department and a Spanish Interpreter. She gained her experience through working with the Orange City Health System, Rock Industries in Rock Valley, and Hope Haven. Being bilingual in English and Spanish has always inspired her to do well at work and be a helpful resource for her patients.
Before coming to work at Promise, Heidy was pleased with the way she saw patients being treated and wanted to be able to do the same. She became passionate about assisting Spanish-speaking patients in the Women’s Health Department and giving patients the care they need in their own language. She is HERE FOR EVERY STEP for a variety of medical services in Spanish at Promise Community Health Center.
Her mission is to help the Women’s Health team and patients understand each other better, communicate better, and meet all their needs and expectations. Creating an environment, like the one at Promise CHC, where everyone is welcomed is what she enjoys most about her role.
I feel like a lot of Hispanic moms don’t know that they have the option to have a home birth. I feel that our communities are grateful that we are here to provide them not just medical care, but also help them with their financial needs!– Heidy Hernandez, Medical Assistant & Spanish Interpreter
Midwifery care is all about advocating for women and making them active participants in their care. Heidy is excited to spread awareness of the midwifery care model by being part of Promise’s new women’s health team campaign, HERE FOR EVERY STEP.
