It’s National Community Health Worker Awareness Week!

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted connectors between Community Health Centers (CHCs), patients, and the communities they serve. They help people navigate care, connect to critical resources, overcome barriers to better health, and make sure patients have support beyond the exam room.
This week, we celebrate the thousands of CHWs working at Community Health Centers across the country who strengthen community-based care every day.

Celebrating this essential workforce also means investing in the pathways that help build and sustain it.

📣 The Health Care Workforce Innovation Act would expand CHC-led pathways into allied health careers and help strengthen the health care workforce.

The CHW Effect isn’t a short-term fix or a band-aid for a broken system. It’s a lasting, sustainable and scalable solution to some of America’s most pressing health challenges. 💛

Community Health Workers build trust where it matters most. They connect people to care, address barriers beyond the clinic, strengthen communities, and help create healthier outcomes that last. 🌱

When we invest in CHWs, we’re not simply filling gaps in the health care system -- we’re building a stronger system for the future.

👉The CHW Effect is scalable.
👉The CHW Effect is sustainable.
👉The CHW Effect is transformational.

It’s time to stop thinking of CHWs as an intervention and start recognizing them as an essential part of America’s health care infrastructure.

Community Health Centers couldn’t do this work without the talented and dedicated people who make it all happen.

To the 334,000 clinical and non-clinical staff across the country—thank you.

Every day, you provide high-quality, whole-person care that keeps communities healthier. Ensuring that same level of care is available for future generations means investing in the primary care workforce today.

That's the vision behind the Triple Double: doubling the next generation of clinicians choosing primary care to help address workforce shortages and expand access to care in communities across the country.
