Community health workers (CHWs) are trained individuals who serve as a bridge between healthcare providers and the communities they serve. They often come from the communities themselves, which helps them understand the specific health needs and cultural contexts of the people they assist. CHWs provide education, support, and resources to improve health outcomes and promote wellness. These workers play a vital role in addressing health disparities by connecting individuals to services such as preventive care, nutrition education, and mental health support. They also help facilitate communication between patients and healthcare professionals, ensuring that community members receive the care they need.
