According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
"A community health worker (CHW) is a frontline public health worker who is a trusted member or has a particularly good understanding of the community served.
A CHW serves as a liaison between health and social services and the community to facilitate access to services and to improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery."
In San Antonio, CHWs - an umbrella term - are known as promotores de salud, peer educators, patient navigators, and more. They are your neighbors, friends, and family advocating for better community health.
