A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a frontline public health worker who is a trusted member of the community they serve. CHWs act as a bridge between health and social services and the community, helping to improve health outcomes and access to care.
Our goal during this episode is to discuss why training pharmacy technicians to step into the role of a Community Health Worker has been imperative to meeting the health equity demands in local communities.
