From Policy to Practice: The Critical Role of CHWs in Team-Based Health Care
Join us on March 10 from 2–3 p.m. ET for a virtual briefing: From Policy to Practice: The Critical Role of CHWs in Team-Based Health Care.
Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a vital role in bridging gaps in health care, improving patient outcomes, and supporting team-based approaches to care. As trusted members of the communities they serve, CHWs and promotores enhance access to health services, address social determinants of health, and strengthen care coordination across diverse settings.
Learn how CHWs contribute to community health and team-based care—and why advocating for their role is essential. Our panel of experts will discuss the impact of CHWs on patient-centered care, their contributions to the health system, and the importance of policies that support and expand the CHW workforce. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to advocate for CHWs and ensure they are recognized as key members of health care teams.
This event will provide an opportunity to:
✅ Examine the impact of CHWs and promotores on care coordination and community health
✅ Explore policy and practice considerations that affect CHWs and their work
✅ Learn from CHWs and other experts about their experiences in team-based health care
✅ Gain insights to better advocate for CHWs in health care and policy spaces
Don’t miss this important conversation on how CHWs and promotores are shaping the future of health care and what you can do to support them!
