Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted members of their community who help people connect to and access health and social services. They are neighbors, friends, relatives, and staples of their community. They are also advocates, educators, counselors, and supporters of those who need help navigating the health care system.
Community Health Workers are a core part of a healthcare team dedicated to achieving equitable health. They have significant impacts on community health and individual health outcomes, as well as decreasing health care costs, improving patient satisfaction, and improving treatment. They are available to assist you in getting the health care you need through a variety of services, including, but not limited to:
- Cultural Mediation
- Health Education & Information
- Service Coordination & Navigation
- Coaching & Social Support
- Advocacy
- Individual & Community Capacity
- Direct Service
- Individual & Community Assessments
- Outreach
- Evaluation & Research
- Translation and interpretation (Marshallese and Spanish)
