Introduction to Community Health Work
Avery was among a group of statewide stakeholders who defined the roles, competencies, and standardized training for community health workers (CHWs) in North Carolina. Their three-year effort resulted in a report issued in May 2018 that is laying the foundation of a system that utilizes CHWs in improving healthcare services, especially for those of low wealth and those most impacted by poor health.
