This trusting relationship enables CHWs to serve as a connector between the community and health/social services to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural humility of service delivery. CHWs can undertake various activities including outreach, community education, resource navigation, community wellness activities, social support, and advocacy.
CHW will play a critical role in supporting prevention and management of chronic conditions that are known to make individuals and communities more susceptible to severe disease and death from COVID-19.
