> Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted community members who promote health and decrease inequities in their own communities.  The majority of CHWs come from diverse communities that are currently underrepresented among the ranks of health, social work and public policy professionals.  CHWs represent an existing workforce that can vastly increase the diversity of the health, social service, and policy professions.
>  
> This event will bring together CHWs from diverse communities and alumni of graduate programs in health, social work and public policy.  CHWs will raise awareness about their profession and its actual and potential contribution to achieving the Quadruple Aim (better quality care, lower cost of care, improved population health, and increased health equity).  Leaders from graduate schools of public health will provide information about their programs. CHWs and alumni will network, opening the pathway into graduate school for CHWs and better integrating CHWs into the health workforce.
