Summary

An earlier PFMC report identified health care providers’ current (and potential) utilization of CHWs and their interest in developing a locally relevant CHW training program. This report provides organizations interested in engaging CHWs with timely information to help them use these new health care workers to improve access to needed health care services for all Monterey County residents.
