Community Health Workers (CHWs) go directly to residents and community groups to provide on-going connection and support.

Our CHWs are dedicated to identifying needs and connecting people to services.  

• They are involved in the community to support and enrich the lives of community members.
• Focus their attention to Social Determinants of Health -- including education, income, employment, housing, and access to health care -- in order to define and address these factors and help bridge the gaps and disparities they create.
• Offer a warm hand-off between community members and agencies, organizations, and programs that can offer assistance to the community member.
• Provide a safe, trusting environment to promote agency, encouraging and practicing tools and strategies to create next steps for community members as they continue to navigate community systems.
• Listen, create, and provide a safe space for individuals to communicate where they are at in the present.
• Promote advocacy for the individuals we are assisting.
• Build knowledge based on needs of the individual and work to increase skillsets to help members of the community meet their needs and advance their goals
