The Role of California’s Community Health Worker, Promotora, and…

Brief

This brief presents the findings from our landscape analysis of the prenatal to three serving community health worker, promotora, and community health representative (CHW/P/R) workforce in California’s Central Valley. Our work around CHW/P/Rs in the Central Valley is done in collaboration with the Whole Child Equity Partnership. The WCEP is a multi-sector coalition of statewide organizations, advocates, and direct service providers working across multiple disciplines to make California the best state to have, raise, and be a child.

One of our goals through this work is to ensure California families have access to culturally relevant navigation and peer support to guide them to needed economic, social-emotional, and developmental services in their communities. Particularly, we are focused on the utilization of the new CHW Medi-Cal Services Benefit in the Central Valley. When analyzing data about California children, we examined county-level data about poverty, health outcomes and more, and identified counties in the Central Valley as a priority area for our work.
