Advocacy for Professional Recognition:
CHW Workforce Development actively advocates for the formal recognition of CHWs as integral members of the healthcare team. By promoting policies that standardize the profession, improve working conditions, and secure appropriate compensation for CHWs, the organization aims to address systemic inequities in healthcare. CHW Workforce Development's founder has been instrumental in raising awareness about the invaluable contributions CHWs make, particularly in connecting hard-to-reach populations with healthcare resources and services.
​
Bridge Health Disparities:
One of the most important purposes of CHW Workforce Development is to reduce health disparities in underserved communities. The organization believes that by strengthening the role of CHWs, they can directly address social determinants of health, such as economic instability, lack of access to care, and inadequate health literacy. Through community-based initiatives and partnerships, CHWs can deliver critical health education and services, ultimately improving the health and well-being of vulnerable populations.
