The role of a Community Health Worker (CHW) in schools is to improve families' access to care and aid them in finding resources and support them in the process of scheduling appointments, transportation, delivery of prescription medications, connecting students to care and utilizing technology to better connect students to their care team. The CHW assesses the families Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) to personalize their care and to get a baseline of their needs.
