Tackling COVID-19 Health Disparities: The Role of Community Health Workers
Thursday, June 17, Noon–1 p.m. MST
The pandemic has highlighted how health disparities impact many populations by increasing infection risk and reducing timely access to quality care, support and follow-up services. Community health workers are ideally suited to connect with at-risk individuals and to coordinate care — ultimately improving both the patient experience and health outcomes. This webinar will review recent examples of interventions conducted by community health workers and how they addressed COVID-19 health disparities.
