NASHP has selected six states to receive in-state technical assistance related to community health worker (CHW) state policy development:
- Alaska
- California
- Maine
- Mississippi
- Oklahoma
- Tennessee
NASHP will engage these states through the end of the year and develop a daylong, in-state meeting to support state leaders as they align resources and collaborate with CHW representatives. NASHP, along with CHW policy subject matter experts, will help these states advance their goals related to sustainability, coordination, and collaboration in order to support the CHW workforce and advance health improvement goals.
About This CHW Technical Assistance Opportunity
NASHP staff will work with selected states to:
- Develop an individual state workplan to achieve project-specific goals within the context of each participating state’s unique policy environment
- Learn from national, state, and local experts
- Identify and engage key partners within the state to advance common goals
- Provide technical assistance through ad hoc calls and an in-state convening that draw from other state examples, broader workforce strategies, and additional resources to advance project goals
At the end of the technical assistance opportunity, states will have made tangible progress toward aligning approaches that support and finance sustainable infrastructure for the CHW workforce.
