Why Become a Community Health Worker?
Agencies in our community are looking to employ CHWs to meet the growing demand of CHW-specialized work
As a CHW, you hold the potential to support better health outcomes for your neighbors, your city, and your community by:
-
connecting patients with community-based services
-
assisting patients with addressing social determinants of health needs.
-
reduce potentially avoidable emergency room visits
-
improve patient engagement in preventative, chronic disease management, and self-management services in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC)
Contact Uzazi Village for more information or to sign up for CHW training
