To increase awareness of what a Community Health Worker (CHW) is, their role in public health and equity, and the value CHWs bring to a community’s vitality, CDPH celebrates the second annual National Community Health Worker Awareness Week August 26 - 30, 2024 (https://nachw.org/nchwaw/). The American Public Health Association (APHA) defines CHWs as frontline public health workers who are trusted members of and/or have an unusually close understanding of the community served. CHWs build individual and community capacity by increasing health knowledge, wellness and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy. Community health workers are a diverse group of support professionals serving local and underserved neighborhoods from major cities to tribal territories and remote rural villages. The workforce recognizes 90+ names and titles for community health workers including care coordinators, doulas, peer educators, promotores de salud, family advocates, and patient navigators. In response to recovery and vaccination efforts during the pandemic, CDPH and partner agencies mobilized the strength of Chicago CHWs by forming the COVID-19 Response Corps. It is now recognized as the Community Health Response Corps focusing on social determinants of health initiatives and resource navigation in priority communities. #CHWNational #CHWChicago #ChiCHRC #CommunityHealthWorkers

Everyone—but especially those who are socially isolated, don’t have air conditioning, are 65 years or older, have a chronic disease, or are pregnant—should take precautions, even in the evening, by visiting cooling centers, libraries or park facilities with AC or visiting a friend or relative.
