Our communities will enjoy health without barriers.

For over four decades, we’ve served communities by implementing Community Health Workers programs that provide a safety net of connections and resources so that individuals and families can achieve health without barriers.

Better Health Outcomes for Our Community

The unique abilities of Community Health Workers (CHWs) power all of our programs. As trusted members of their communities, they provide health education, case management, and application assistance. They are perfectly situated to lead outreach and educational activities directly in the neighborhoods where underserved individuals live, work, and play. By removing barriers that prevent access to care, we ensure that our communities receive the services essential to improving health outcomes.
