Resources for Integrated Care (RIC) Briefs: Community Health Workers

To provide effective services to individuals from diverse backgrounds, many health plans and providers use community health workers (CHWs). They are sometimes also known as promotoras de salud, community health representatives, community health advisors, or health navigators. CHWs have a culture- or experience-based connection with the people they serve. They come from a similar background, speak the same language, or live in the same community as their clients. This connection is particularly helpful when serving individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, who often have more unmet health care and health-related social needs.

Resources for Integrated Care (RIC) invites you to explore the resources linked below that contain information and promising practices related to CHW skills and techniques, how to support CHWs, and recruiting and training CHWs.
