CHW Week 2024
MACHW is excited to celebrate CHW Week from June 12 to June 16! MACHW supports employers such as health care systems, ACOs, and community-based organizations in celebrating their CHW staff. You can find our resources for CHW Day below and on our social media. If you need support kicking off CHW celebrations at your organization, please contact Shanina at [email protected].
- This special day to honor CHWs began in 1994 by the Boston Public Health Commission’s Community Health Education Center (CHEC), the first competency-based training program for CHWs in the country.
- MACHW has designed a special pin to identify CHW professionals as an important part of The Health Equity Workforce. The pin incorporates the image of a compass because CHWs are guiding communities toward a future of health equity. If you would like to order pins to host a pinning ceremony, please contact [email protected].
- In 2023, MACHW engaged 60+ employers of CHWs, including Boston Medical Center, the MA League of Community Health Centers, New Bedford Health Department, and Team Up for Children to honor our profession and contributions to the well-being of our communities.
- See the Employer Guidance for CHW Acknowledgement and suggestions for employers to celebrate these valued professionals of their public health teams during CHW Week.
