This editorial, recently published in American Journal of Public Health , does a great job of recognizing the huge contributions of CHWs, often employed as part of interprofessional teams, as they work to reduce disparities in their communities. "Too often, interprofessional health care workforce team members’ contributions to eliminating health inequities are omitted. For example, there is compelling evidence that community health workers, social workers, behavioral health and addiction providers, and so forth are highly effective members of the health care workforce. Despite compelling data on the important contributions of these health care workforce team members, dominant models of health care delivery underprioritize their utilization in eliminating health inequities. This is most notable in the lack of reimbursement for services provided by community health workers and other health care team members, even though changes in reimbursement policies would contribute to eliminating health inequities." https://loom.ly/wZcBvPE #chws #communityhealthworkers #promotoresdesalud #promotoras #chwreimbursement VINCENT GUILAMO-RAMOS Reginald Tucker-Seeley National Association of Community Health Workers Partners in Health

Thursday, September 24th, 2024 We regret to inform you that due to the ongoing state of emergency in Georgia and the anticipated severe weather conditions in the region, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2024 Southeast Community Health Worker Summit. Gov. Brian Kemp has issued a State of Emergency for all of Georgia ahead of Tropical Storm Helene. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities, and we believe that postponing the event is the best course of action to ensure the safety of all attendees. We are currently working diligently to reschedule the summit and will provide you with updates as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you need to cancel your hotel reservation and flight, please do so. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We will continue to keep you informed as the situation develops. Please visit https://lnkd.in/eYbFK_Vk to read Gov. Kemp’s executive order and view updates as they are made available.
