Change the World as a Community Health Worker for our Preventive Health Program!
Join a growing organization to reach your full potential!
A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a public health worker who has a heightened understanding of the community served through their specific program. Depending on clinic priorities or seasons, the specific program the CHW works under may vary. This understanding enables the CHW to serve as a liaison, link and educator between services and the community to promote services and ultimately enhance community health. A CHW builds individual and community capacity by increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, data collection, social support and advocacy. Our successful candidate will engage in patient identification and outreach, program implementation and patient education. This CHW will currently focus on a variety of Preventive Health Topics such as cancer prevention health programs, dental services, reproductive/sexual health programs, and more.
