New home for Michigan Community Health Worker Alliance

New home for Michigan Community Health Worker Alliance

Beginning in July, the Michigan Community Health Worker Alliance (MiCHWA) and two full-time community health workers will be housed at CHRT. Community health workers serve as trusted public health workers available to support residents’ health needs. They also link individuals to the health and social services available in their communities. CHRT will help MiCHWA work with partner organizations to promote policies for continued, long-term community health worker sustainability and building a state online community health worker registry.
