The UH CHWI drives positive social and health outcomes through trust and advocacy in underserved communities.
关于我们
The healthcare system has run into a wall of mistrust. Community Health Workers (CHWs) - folks from the community who help with preventive and community health - can create more trust, but have only been provided with limited support to create that trust. We believe a new and larger role for CHW's can provide transformative social and health outcomes for the community by building, sustaining, and deserving trust. A new role for academic experts means that responsive engagement replaces top-down directions and that the experts can help support and celebrate the creativity in the community. An expanded role for faith-based partnerships means that better health can be tied to the mental, physical, and spiritual health of every individual and the community as a whole. A new strategy for sustaining the business model through long-term outcomes-based payments means that CHWs can work for good pay as health advocates.

Super proud of the community health worker team that put this event together! Many children were able to receive their vaccines and their parents/caregivers were able to receive important health information and screenings. Thank you to TIP and all of our partners!
We are proud to have partnered with the University of Houston Community Health Worker Initiative (UHCHWI) to provide essential educational resources and immunizations to the Pasadena community.
