Community Health Workers (CHWs) Serve as Essential Part of Health Care Teams

CHWs are trusted community members who serve as links between patients and health or social service agencies, working to improve health outcomes by providing access to resources. Employing CHWs provides cost savings for health providers, increases the quality of care delivery and improves patient trust.

We encourage you to consider employing CHWs, and to help us spread the word about the benefits of working with CHWs. Please share the link to the video with your partners and employees, and/or embed the video link in a web page on your website. You may also forward this email to anyone who could benefit from this information.

If you are thinking of adding a CHW to your team, we can provide support or free consultation. Contact us at CHWinfo@marc.org. Visit our web page for more information.

We also provide resources for those who already employ CHWs, including the Reimbursement Strategies for Employers of Community Health Workers toolkit.
