The overall health status of so many people change due to support they receive of the Community Health Worker. One of my clients was very sick and homeless for about 15 years, only because she never had the right support. She was very depressed. Now she laughs and tells me that she is happy. She did not have any friends, now she has an apartment and friends. Her health and everything else changed in less than one year. Rhode Island needs more CCHWs.

CHW's are not adequately recognized with pay even when we become certified with a specialty. We give so much from the heart and get so little in return, to sustain ourselves and our families financially. We all work within our communities and therefore know exactly where, what and how to intervene. Our community needs are cultural/personal/ individually based and we do relate and are capable of getting to the roots of our community needs, concerns and barriers.

The communities need CHW's, they have the resources and knowledge to help the single/families in the community.
