CHW-RRC Co-authored CHW Policy Brief

The CHW-RRC Community Health Worker Policy Brief describes the impact and importance of the CHW workforce and current federal and NY state CHW policies. The brief argues that CHWs are essential for advancing health equity, but they need stronger institutional support through training, supervision, fair pay, and career pathways.
