By the end, you will have a big-picture understanding of community and public health and the ways you can have a positive impact on individual, family, and community health and wellness.
Community Health Workers (CHW) are members of the communities they serve and work in team environments. They build trusting relationships with community members, local social service agencies, and healthcare providers. The CHW workforce models and promotes health equity for communities.
