WAHA began working to develop a network of CHWs in order to support frontline community health workers and promote CHW workforce development, creating a platform for sharing best practices, receiving training, reducing duplication of services, sharing resources and identifying emerging issues and ideas for improving health equity in under-served communities.
The Whatcom CHW Network established a regular date for network meetings (4th Friday of each month), choosing to alternate meeting locations at member organizations in order to learn more about the member agencies and their services.
