What We Do
Community Health Workers are frontline healthcare workers who are a part of, or have trust and understanding, of the populations they serve. CHW's are important in providing equitable, culturally competent health care services to members of the community. Durham has a Community Health Worker Roundtable designed as a place for CHW's to share resources and develop strategies to improve workforce development. Additionally, Durham has a Community Health Worker workgroup that strategizes funding sources to improve stability and fair wages for CHWs while proposing improvements to the healthcare system utilizing CHWs.
