Community Health Workers (CHWs)

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are individuals who assist communities in accessing healthcare services and improving health outcomes. They often come from the communities they serve, which allows them to build trust and effectively communicate health information. CHWs provide education on disease prevention, help people navigate the healthcare system, and may offer support for managing chronic conditions. Their role is crucial in addressing health disparities and promoting overall community well-being by connecting residents to resources and services that enhance their health.
