💙National CHW Awareness Week💙

Who Are CHWs? 💙

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted frontline public health professionals who serve as bridges between communities and health systems. They are advocates, educators, connectors, and change-makers — often from the very communities they serve.

CHWs help people navigate complex systems, access resources, and build healthier lives. Their work is rooted in trust, cultural humility, and lived experience.

At Milwaukee AHEC, we see firsthand how powerful their impact is — not just in improving health outcomes, but in transforming lives.

Let’s uplift and invest in CHWs. Their voices matter. Their work matters. Their leadership matters.
