Description
The road to ending the epidemic must be paved with community engagement. Community health care workers (CHWs) represent the voice of the community and play a vital role in linkage and retention to care. DC Health piloted three innovative care models to strategically ensure the community's voice is permanently embedded in HIV services.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the benefits of CHW standardization and certification.
- Learn to incorporate CHWs in your prevention, care and treatment model.
- Manage CHWs and the complexities they face being a part of the community and providing services to the community.
