Community Health Worker Program Webinar

pace.oregonstate.edu/chw Here are just a few of the questions that are answered in the webinar: Are there results to the efficacy of the CHW program so far? Impact on healthcare? Savings for the organization? The role as described seems very similar to what our case managers do. Will you be covering specifically what is in the training that would be beyond what we may already be trained in and doing? Is the role of a community health worker similar to a health navigator? What, if any, are the medical or science competencies of the training program and OHA certification? What kind of information is covered in the CHW course regarding intimate partner and sexual violence given all the impacts it has on health and social determinants of health? Is there a way that qualified professionals can be designated as CHW's without going through the training? Given the various community nuances, how does the CHW training take into account which services people should be directed to? Is it driven by local social service and healthcare leaders?
