"They aren’t just a patient — they’re someone’s parent, sibling, child, friend.”
Guadalupe, Community Health Worker at Aurora Walker’s Point Community Clinic, brings heart and humanity to every interaction. She’s committed to building trust, breaking down barriers and empowering people to take charge of their health.
Whether she’s delivering test kits, picking up results, following up with patients, providing accessible health education or even visiting local food pantries to connect those in her community with various resources, Guadalupe meets patients where they are with compassion and dignity.
“I’ve been through the same situation. I was a patient at this clinic before my role here and so was my mother. When we explain things in ways that are digestible and respectful, people feel empowered to take control of their health. We have to be their advocates. That’s how we build lasting bridges of trust.”
This year, Guadalupe was honored as a Community Health Worker Cancer Champion by the American Cancer Society and Kohl's Healthy Families, a recognition of her commitment and dedication. Serving over 1,000 patients annually, she connects clients with services that promote early screening and informed decision-making.
She calls her role one of the greatest blessings of her life. We call her a hero. Through empathy, advocacy and action, Guadalupe is saving lives. ❤️
