A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a trained individual who serves as a bridge between healthcare providers and the community. They help people access health services, provide education on health topics, and support individuals in managing their health conditions. CHWs often work in local neighborhoods, making healthcare more accessible and culturally relevant. CHWs play a vital role in promoting public health by addressing social determinants of health, such as education and income. They may assist with tasks like organizing health screenings, providing information about vaccinations, and connecting families to resources like food assistance or mental health services.
