Community Health Worker Collaborative

The Mid-America Regional Council has supported a KC Regional Community Health Worker Collaborative since 2016. The Collaborative has focused on capacity building, advocacy and sustainability of the profession. 

CHW Collaborative meetings include the Advocacy Subcommittee and CHW Forum.  

• The Advocacy Subcommittee meets on the fourth Monday of every month. 
• The CHW Forum meets on the fourth Thursday of each month (other than November and December holidays).
• The KC Regional CHW Collaborative meets quarterly.

The Collaborative has an Executive Committee composed of co-chairs of the Collaborative, Forum and Advocacy subcommittees and at-large elected representatives.
