CHW Connector Description
CHW Connector: A platform for Community Health Workers to share information, insights, and resources.
The National Association of Community Health Workers (NACHW) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership-driven organization with a mission to unify CHWs across geography, ethnicity, sector, and experience to support communities to achieve health, equity, and social justice. NACHW recognizes CHWs, CHRs from tribal nations, promotoras and more than 95 other work titles.
The covid pandemic confirmed historic gaps in CHW infrastructure for sustainability, and NACHW has been engaging with CHWs across the country to learn about and address these barriers.
In response, NACHW has developed the CHW Connector to provide a free space for CHWs to:
• Connect with other CHWs to learn, share, grow, and identify resources and information,
• Follow and connect with state/local CHW networks and topic specific communities,
• Receive critical alerts related to public health emergencies,
• Share valuable insights and information with NACHW to build the CHW movement, and
• Learn about and get involved in CHW and equity focused policy and advocacy opportunities at the state and national level.
