Summary

DPH is working to ensure a quality CHW workforce through imminent state certification of CHWs and approval of CHW training programs, as well as promoting sustainable financing of CHWs as part of healthcare teams. This White Paper will help to inform healthcare provider and payer decision-makers about the growing evidence of CHWs’ multiple contributions to achieving the cost, quality and health outcome goals of health reform, while reducing disparities in health care and outcomes throughout the Commonwealth and the nation.
