Community Health Workers
YOUR HEALTH ADVOCATES
Community Health Workers are a special part of the care team. They know your community and are trained to help you connect to community resources and advocate for your health care needs. Ask your health care provider for a referral today|
At CHC we believe that our patients should be empowered to be active participants in their care, and recognize that treating the whole person, not just the disease, is essential. We always welcome newly diagnosed patients with HIV/AIDS, and those living with HIV/AIDS that are new in our community. In addition, CHC provides support services to partners of our HIV patients who are HIV negative needing Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) to lower their chances of getting infected.
