What is the Community Health Worker Program?

In partnership with Morehouse School of Medicine, the National Urban League designed and implemented the Community Health Worker (CHW) program to promote healthy lifestyles among African Americans, improve their health outcomes and their access to healthcare and other community assets, and influence public policy in favor of community health worker models. CHW is a Signature Program of the National Urban League.
