We empower the CHW Profession
Our Mission
At INCHWA, we are dedicated to advocating for community health workers to enhance patient outreach and foster healthy communities. With a focus on integrity and innovation, we bring together stakeholders, employers, and visionaries to drive tangible results and uphold ethical workforce development standards. Our 50 years of experience in the field, combined with research and advocacy efforts, allow us to champion the workforce at all levels, from local communities to a national scale.
We provide resources to help employers create sustainable CHW programs, offer leadership development coaching, and consult on projects to ensure successful outcomes. Additionally, we work with education vendors to establish certification standards, quality assurance, and specialized training for CHWs, benefiting both students and employers. Our goal is to build a supportive community that promotes networking and knowledge exchange among CHWs, workforce supporters and other front line heroes.
