Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs) are trusted frontline professionals who bridge the gap between providers and the communities they serve. They bring cultural insight, lived experience, and strong community connections to support whole-person care.
To address the ongoing workforce crisis and rising patient demand, we are partnering with Pipeline Connects, Arizona State University, behavioral health providers and community organizations to expand the role of Community Healthcare Workers. This collaborative approach builds a sustainable workforce pipeline while extending care beyond traditional settings.
