About Us
The Center for Community Health Alignment (CCHA) is a community focused organization within the UofSC Arnold School of Public Health. Our network of partners work alongside community leaders to align efforts addressing health in South Carolina.
Vision
A world where all communities thrive, everyone has what they need to be healthy, and no one is left behind.
Mission
We drive community-rooted change by amplifying voices, building the CHW workforce, and transforming systems through training, advocacy, and collaboration—ensuring everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy life.
Training and Technical Assistance
Our training team facilitates CHW core competency trainings that follow nationally recognized best practices from the Community Health Worker Core Consensus Project (C3 Project), providing a meaningful framework to begin and/or excel as a professional CHW. Our team also crafts curriculums for diverse CHW trainings focused on topics such as oral health, CHW supervision, and chronic disease prevention and management.
Additionally, we provide technical assistance to meet the needs of a variety of stakeholders. Our field-tested community-responsive toolkits focus on CHW workforce implementation, social drivers of health screenings, CHW program evaluation, and addressing perinatal health disparities.
