Community Health Workers provide an invaluable connection between communities and health care services. Armed with both training and life experience, community health workers help their communities navigate health and public health systems in a culturally informed, sensitive way. The Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation have worked with community health workers and disease advocacy organizations to establish and develop sustainable payment structures that can increase community health worker availability and integration into the health care system.
