Community Health Representatives

Community Health Representatives (CHRs) are trained health workers who serve as a vital link between healthcare systems and their communities. They typically come from the communities they serve and use their cultural knowledge and language skills to provide health education, promote healthy behaviors, and assist individuals in accessing healthcare services. CHRs help improve public health outcomes by fostering trust, guiding people through complex health information, and advocating for community needs. Their role enhances healthcare accessibility, especially in underserved or rural areas, contributing to better overall community health and wellness.
