My name is Subrena Guy, and I am originally from Maryland. I serve as a Community Health Worker for the Thriving Hearts Program, supporting pregnant individuals and families throughout Cumberland County. I hold a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education with a minor in Business Management, and I have over five years of experience as a health educator dedicated to strengthening maternal and child health outcomes. In my role, I assist low-income community members by providing health education, connecting families to community resources and events, and offering parenting support as a Level III Triple P provider. I also participate in the medical-legal partnership and serve as a trusted link between pregnant individuals and the health and social services needed to achieve healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.

I helped build the Healthy Start Program, designed the Healthy Start Pregnancy Calendar, and lead major community initiatives including the Healthy Start Fair, the Medicaid Panel Discussion Seminar, and co-leading the Men’s Health Fair. I am also an active member of the Breastfeeding Coalition, the Perinatal Task Force, and the Triple P Parenting Program. My work is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a commitment to reducing barriers, so families feel empowered, informed, and supported at every stage. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, gardening, walking, traveling, and spending meaningful time with family, especially when hosting celebrations or uplifting others.
