This study explored two ways of integrating community health workers (CHWs) into healthcare: through community-clinical partnerships and direct employment within healthcare settings. By analyzing focus group discussions with CHWs and patient data, the study found that while CHWs in both models helped meet various patient needs, challenges in fully integrating these models still exist. Differences were also noted in the demographics and healthcare usage of the patients served by each model.
