Summary

In 1999, Texas became the first state to formally recognize the community health worker (CHW) workforce. Since then, policymakers, state health officials, and other key stakeholders have taken a series of steps to develop and sustain this growing workforce. To meet the state’s diverse needs, Texas is expanding the capacity of its CHW workforce by building partnerships, identifying workforce champions, and integrating CHWs in quality improvement and public health initiatives.
