  The Vida Sana program was developed to engage and educate individuals at higher risk of having chronic conditions about healthy behaviors, diet, and physical activity. This program consists of an orientation session and eight weekly group classes led by trained bilingual Spanish-speaking and bicultural community health workers (CHWs) called navegantes. Classes are administered in a conversational format and use the low-literacy Thumbs Up™ curriculum developed by Dr. Susan Oliverio of the Institute for Education on Health and Research.
