Community Health Worker

A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a trained local representative who helps connect individuals and communities with healthcare services. They understand the specific needs and culture of the community, providing education, support, and guidance to promote healthy behaviors. CHWs often assist with tasks like scheduling appointments, offering basic health information, and encouraging preventive care. Their goal is to improve overall health outcomes by bridging gaps between the community and healthcare providers, making sure people get the care they need in a way that’s respectful and accessible.
