Program: Community Health Worker (CHW) Ambassador Orientation
The Virginia Community Health Worker Association created a program to highlight diversity in skillsets and roles within the CHW workforce. Like other public health professions, specialties are necessary to broaden the choices that support a network of healthcare teams you trust and can rely on for various health needs.
Community Health Worker (CHW) Ambassadors are not just professionals. They are vital bridges between healthcare providers and community members. Their lived experience gives them a unique perspective, enabling them to provide education, outreach, navigation, and advocacy to communities, organizations, and government. They often work in underserved areas, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has access to essential health services.
Participating in the orientation session is not just an option, it’s a crucial step to gain relevant information about this program. This program is positioned to institute constructive changes in your local community and create valuable professional opportunities. Your participation is key to making this happen.
