Community Health Worker
The Community Initiatives Bureau (CIB) strives to reduce health inequities. We define health equity as the opportunity for everyone to reach their full health potential. Part of CIB’s strategy in reducing health inequities is the engagement of community health workers (CHWs). CHWs are public health workers who apply their unique understanding of the experience, language and or culture of the populations they serve to support individuals in achieving their full health potential.
The CDC has designated funds through the Community Health and Resilient Communities Grant (CCR) to address the impacts of COVID-19 through the training, deployment, and engagement of CHWs.
Grant funds will support organizations to achieve the following:
- Increase capacity of funded organization to support their CHW workforce
- Increase skills and competencies of practicing CHWs
- Build management, supervisory skills, and competencies for CHW supervisors
- Increase community among CHWs
