Community Health Workers are an important part of the health environment but understanding who they are, what they do, and how they work within an organization is important. This high-level overview of CHWs is provided to those who may not currently work with CHWs or understand the unique tools and activities that make their role in the organization key to increased access and culturally appropriate care.
