Community Health Workers are trusted health care professionals who connect people to care, resources and support. Often rooted in the communities they serve, CHWs help bridge gaps between health systems, social services and community members by building trust, addressing barriers and supporting more responsive, culturally informed care.
But how do health systems and organizations support the people doing this vital work?
In this webinar, URAC chatted with Jefferson Health, the first organization to earn URAC Community Health Worker Program Accreditation, about how their program ensures fair community representation in hiring, training, team development and career pathways for CHWs. Attendees learned how Jefferson Health is using their accreditation to strengthen bonds in their community and reward those whose work can often go unnoticed or under recognized.
Watch this webinar to learn more about Jefferson Health’s experience and how URAC’s CHWP Accreditation can help strengthen your program and showcase your excellence in this vital work.
