ABSTRACT
Community health workers advance health equity and foster community-clinical linkages. By promoting culturally relevant care, sharing their own stories, and bridging gaps, they can reach populations burdened with higher rates of chronic diseases due to adverse social determinants of health and structural racism. Given the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19, lessons learned from a forum, an expert group, and a survey showed a need by community health workers for (1) training, (2) health and safety practices, (3) workplace guidance, and (4) mental health resources. Community health workers are integral to expanding access to services and require a robust infrastructure for their growth.
