CHWs are critical to rural health care and we are so lucky to have advocates like Jazmine!
The I Am A CHW: Ask Me Why? Campaign is a national social media campaign initiated by the Rural Community Health Worker Network (RCHWN) and Everyday Life Consulting (ELC) to educate individuals on the work of community health workers (CHWs) while also providing a platform for CHWs to share their experiences, passions, and resources. The campaign seeks to highlight the often invisible work of CHWs as critical linkages between resources and individuals in need. As part of our CHW Course Curriculum, CHWs are asked to describe their work as a CHW in one word and explain what being a CHW means to them. Here are some examples from our most recent cohort. #NMUruralhealth #nchwaw2024
