Community Health Worker Course - begins January 2025
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are vital in bridging the gap between healthcare providers and communities. CHWs are often members of the communities they serve or share similar backgrounds and experiences, which helps to establish trust and build strong relationships with community members. These dedicated individuals serve as liaisons, educators, advocates, and trusted sources of information for underserved populations. Their work goes beyond traditional healthcare settings, reaching into the very heart of at-risk populations to promote health and wellness. West Texas AHEC is now enrolling for the spring 2025 Community Health Worker course. For registration information, please see the attached flyer. Contact Panhandle AHEC to inquire if scholarships to cover the cost are still available!
