CHW services are related to accessing preventative health services that follow current national guidelines, recommendations, grant requirements, and standards of care. A CHW builds individual and community capacity by increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, data collection, social support and advocacy.
