Summary

The South Dakota Department of Health (SD DOH) and South Dakota Department of Social Services (SD DSS) combined efforts to further define the Community Health Worker services in South Dakota. A workgroup of constituents comprised of representatives from healthcare organizations, public health, Indian Health Service, and tribal communities developed three recommendations to inform the development of CHW services. This report summarizes the recommendations, credentialing models, business case, background work and workgroup meeting outcomes.
