Regular monthly Network Meetings since November 2020
Our regular SE CHW Network Meetings are inclusive and open to all. These meetings consist of CHWs, allies, public health and healthcare professionals with consistently over 90 attendees. More information about these regular monthly meetings can be found on our get connected page.
Southeast CHW Network Summit
The annual summit provides a space for individuals within the CHW Network to gather together to acknowledge the impact of the work they do in their communities, share best practices, and address challenges and barriers.
Funding support
The SE CHW Network aims to strengthen capacity building by partnering with the Johnson & Johnson Our Race to Health Equity Campaign. This initiative aims to address health inequities for people of color through a culturally diverse and inclusive workforce, investments in culturally competent community care models to close the racial mortality gap, and utilize their partnership network to improve social determinants of health.
Sub-grants to CHW networks throughout the Southeast
In 2024, The Southeast Community Health Worker Network looks forward to expanding the collaborative grant program and continuing to strengthen the CHW workforce across the region.
