WHO IS THE NH CHW COALITION?
The NH CHW Coalition is made up of a mix of Community Health Workers (CHWs) and a variety of stakeholders. We aim to maintain a membership that is at least 50% CHWs. Our CHW membership includes individuals who are from a variety of sectors including (but certainly not limited to) public health or community-based organizations, policymakers, and more! There are many CHW employers, supervisors, and adjacent professionals who are here to stay in-the-know of all things CHW to provide their support.
Our Steering Committee
The NH CHW Coalition Steering Committee is comprised of 5 positions, with additional support from technical assistance advisors. The 5 positions are two co-chairs, two vice chairs, and a secretary. The northern and southern regions of NH each have a chair and vice chair, who all work together, providing important perspectives from all areas of the state, ensuring CHWs from all communities in NH are considered when decisions are being made. Technical assistance is currently provided by the North Country Health Consortium.
