What has been the most rewarding part of being a CHW so far?



I would have to say the most rewarding part of being a CHW so far has been seeing people that I’ve helped meet their goals and seeing positive change in these individuals. It’s also really rewarding to build trust with a client and see them become more open and comfortable over time and more independent.

CPH working with local church leaders on Health Ministry Initiative

Center for Population Health (CPH) is working with local church leaders to launch a Health Ministry Initiative.

A Health Minister is an individual, or individuals, designated by the church's leader as someone who will provide health and human services information to the congregation.

The initiative is completely free and open to churches of any denomination or religion in Cambria and Somerset counties.

For more information or to sign up, contact Allie Byers at abyers@centerforpophealth.org.
