What is a Community Health Worker

We are preparing the first edition of a text, tentatively titled, Working in Community Health: Foundations for a Successful Career. This text is specifically written to prepare and educate community health workers for employment with the potential of a career ladder. This book provides specific knowledge required for effective employment skills, understanding basic anatomy and physiology of the most common chronic diseases, teaching how to access and understand health knowledge, as well as resume development and interview proficiency.
