What is a Community Health Worker?

CHWs are trusted community members, often from the communities they serve, trained to provide health education, resources, and support. They bridge the gap between the people they serve and health and social service providers. CHWs are advocates, navigators, and educators, especially to priority populations in underserved low-income communities of color. CHWs are a crucial resource in improving public health outcomes, especially in areas where health disparities are most pronounced. Their unique role in healthcare helps address both immediate needs and long-term systemic issues.
