Who are CHWs

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are front-line public health professionals; they are trusted by members of their communities to share information and facilitate access to health and social services.

With a deep understanding of their community based on lived experience, CHWs serve as a bridge between social services or healthcare systems and their neighbors while ensuring language access and culturally appropriate care.
