What is a Community Health Worker?
Connecting Community Members to Resources & Support
A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a trained public health professional who works directly with individuals and families to help them navigate health and social services. CHWs help bridge the gap between communities and healthcare systems by providing education, support, and connection to resources. Their work focuses on improving access, building trust, and helping community members feel supported in reaching their health goals.
