She was born in Mexico City but grew up in The Dalles, where she still lives today. Esther has been drawn to working at One Community health because she is passionate about community health, supporting our diverse patient population, and, of course, practicing perinatal care and delivering high-quality, personable services and solutions.

Delfina Reyes has worked for One Community Health’s perinatal program since 2005. She provides education and support to pregnant women and women who have recently had a baby. She enjoys working with pregnant women and helping them get the care and services they need, everything from prenatal education to dental exams and even our behavioral health services. Delfina has witnessed how our health promotion programs have made a dramatic difference in the lives of our patients over the years. Patients are often more relaxed about talking to the community health workers than they are talking to their provider, and the community health workers have the opportunity to give them that extra care and attention.

Alicia Swift has worked for One Community Health as the Enabling Services Manager since January 2017. She provides support to the Salud Program’s community health workers and registered nurses/diabetes educators and also oversees interpretation and translation services for the organization. Originally from the Gorge, Alicia has bachelor’s degree in journalism with a minor in Spanish from the University of Oregon. During college, she studied abroad in Querétaro, Mexico, which was the catalyst for her joining the Peace Corps in 2010, serving as a health volunteer in rural Guatemala for two years. There, she further discovered her passion for public health and working with underserved populations. After the Peace Corps, Alicia earned a master’s degree in public health at the University of Arizona, focusing her studies on family and child – global health. At the same time, she managed a non-profit free health clinic that served a unique population in Southern Arizona with more than 90% of the patients being Spanish speaking and dealing with multiple chronic diseases and many barriers to care. After graduation, Alicia returned to the Northwest and found home again at One Community Health. Since joining our team she has greatly enjoyed being able to work with the Spanish-speaking population and growing the chronic disease prevention services. In her spare time, Alicia enjoys any activity that allows her to be in nature regardless of the weather, good food, travel and spending time with family and friends.

Evaristo Romero has worked for One Community Health’s Salud program since 2003. He loves the opportunity to teach patients and make a difference in their disease management. He has recently gained new skills in helping people manage their weight in a healthy way and has been very popular in that role. He teaches classes and provides one-on-one support for many patients. As someone who long ago worked in the orchards and saw the benefit of health of wellness, he knows that health promotion programs enable the clinic to reach many more people in ways that are effective for conveying health information and support. Over the years, Evaristo has created valuable connections with our local patients as well as the returning migrant farmworkers we serve both at orchards and in special health clinics throughout the summer months.

Born and raised in the Columbia River Gorge, Maria Acevedo discovered her interest in becoming a community health worker after her father experienced an illness. While he was sick, she played the role of “translator,” helping advocate for him during his provider visits to get the health education and support he needed. After joining One Community Health in 2015, Maria quickly worked toward gaining her certification as a community health worker and is now bridging key gaps between the Latino culture and today’s health care system. Maria says she’s proud to work in place that’s not only trained her to do her job but grow personally as well.
