Community Health Worker Toolkit Community health workers (CHWs) play an important role in educating their communities about heart disease by implementing culturally tailored health promotion and disease prevention programs. Find resources designed to help CHWs bring science-based, easy-to-understand information on heart health to community members in an engaging way. These heart health toolkits are tailored for several different ethnic communities including African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders. As trusted members of their community, CHWs can share this information and encourage healthy lifestyle behaviors that can help reduce health disparities. |
