Providing Support on Issues Affecting CHWs and the Hispanic and Latino Community During the Pandemic
For over 20 years, MHP Salud has collaborated with national health organizations and associations across the country to develop resources and tools that provide support for CHW programs at federally qualified health centers, healthcare organizations, and community-based organizations. Continuing this tradition in 2020 would seem to be challenging as safety measures put in place for the COVID-19 pandemic put restraints on the way organizations can collaborate. This wasn’t the case for MHP Salud’s Management Based Objective programs which managed to provide a unique virtual learning opportunity covering current topics affecting CHWs and the Hispanic and Latino community.
