CDC CHW C.O.R.E.
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESILIENCY AND EQUITY
The CHW Coalition - in partnership with trusted partners- have been awarded a federal grant from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), which focuses on improving and expanding our existing CHW efforts. More specifically, our CHWs will lead system-level decision makers and members of community as we work, together, to build and strengthen community resilience. This effort was catalyzed by COVID-19 and the need for concentrated, comprehensive, cross-sector collaboration to adequately, and equitably, address health disparities.
