Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a vital role in improving health by building trust and communication between patients and providers. Their deep connection to their communities allows them to address social and behavioral factors affecting health. As states look to expand CHW programs, it’s important to present evidence of their effectiveness. Research over the past 50 years shows that CHWs improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and help close health disparities. This summary highlights key studies that demonstrate the value of CHWs in various health settings.
