Senior Community Health Worker – Case Management

Description

CHWs are front-line public health workers who are trusted members of and/ or have an unusually close understanding of the community they serve. This trusting relationship enables CHWs to serve as a liaison/ link/ intermediary between health/social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery. CHWs also build individual and community capacity by increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support and advocacy (American Public Health Association, 2008). The Providence CHW works as part of the primary care team to effectively address the needs of patients in a collaborative, patient driven manner. The CHW has a good understanding of the various Providence and community based resources and can advise patients on how to best take advantage of these resources.
