Why are community health workers (CHWs) important?
Being a CHW is a superpower that I humbly wield. Knowing that I can assist one person or family at a time is gratifying, as it reduces health disparities in underserved communities. As a liaison between various services, I can help build individual and community health knowledge, foster self-sufficiency through diverse activities, including outreach, education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy.
