Harris County Pathways Community HUB Program
​Community Health Workers 

Community Health Workers (CHWs) play an integral role in the success of Harris County Pathways Community HUB. CHWs are on the frontline, providing culturally and linguistically appropriate health education, and participant care coordination to achieve health equity.  Our CHW team works collaboratively across various sectors of care to address non-medical drivers of health (NMDoH) that impact vulnerable populations, such as pregnant and post-partum women, as well as individuals who are experiencing behavioral health challenges. Community Health Worker interventions can result in cost-savings for organizations by eliminating barriers to care and shifting participant care experiences from expensive urgent or emergency care to more cost-effective primary and preventive care.
