Community Health Worker Services

Bridging Health and Community

Our Community Health Worker (CHW) Services are designed to support individuals and families by connecting them to essential health resources, addressing social determinants of health, and fostering wellness in our community. CHWs serve as trusted liaisons between residents and the services they need, ensuring that everyone has access to equitable, culturally responsive care and support.
