(March 7, 2025) Washington, D.C. – On March 11 and 12, over 100 community health workers (CHWs), allies, and advocates from across the country will gather on Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and legislative staff during the third annual CHW Capitol Hill Visits. The event, featuring a Hill Day, CHW rally, and Congressional briefing, will be hosted jointly by National Association of Community Health Workers (NACHW) and the U.S. arm of Partners In Health (PIH-US) to bring critical awareness to the community health worker profession and workforce.
“Community Health Workers are everyday people who are doing incredible things in the lives of individuals and families.” says Denise Octavia Smith, CHW and Executive Director of NACHW. “The commitment of CHWs to help people get and stay healthy comes from our own personal experiences of having poor health or barriers to living our best lives. We are trusted professionals who live, play, and pray in the same communities where we serve.”
