Understanding how to better integrate community health workers (CHWs) into the complex healthcare infrastructure of the United States is important to better support CHWs in providing healthcare to their communities. This mixed-methods study conducted in Arizona assesses the organizational readiness of Arizona Medicaid for the integration of CHWs. The authors found that Arizona Medicaid is well-positioned for CHW integration and recommended that steps be taken to do so.
