Community Health Workers (CHWs) coordinate care for program participants from historically disadvantaged communities through:
Advocacy
Education
Connection
to community resources
CHWs build relationships with participants and help them navigate complex systems. This work bridges care gaps, ensuring that program participants receive the best health care possible.
In 2023:
