Community Health Workers, or CHWs, are trusted community members who help connect people with providers, programs, and services. CHWs can assist with many needs, including transportation, housing, food assistance, and community services, according to the McClain County Health Department's Facebook post.

They also provide program referrals, health education, financial assistance, and insurance eligibility screening. If you or someone in your household needs help accessing resources, a CHW can help. Please contact our Community Health Worker for more information and support, as reported by the McClain County Health Department.
