Community Health Workers
We are building our team of CHWs and are fortunate to have four full time positions, one in Greenfield, one working with migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, one in Orange and one embedded within the Franklin County Jail. Each CHW is trained in a core discipline and can then add additional skills that are specifically chosen to meet the needs of their target population. A CHW has the unique ability to work with patients in any environment which can often allow a patient to feel more at ease and comfortably overcome inhibitions that might otherwise prevent important information from getting to those who can make a difference.
