About: The 2nd Annual Community Health Worker Summit brings together Community Health Workers (CHW), supervisors, and employers throughout Illinois to provide an opportunity for education, networking, and sharing of ideas and information. The Summit creates a venue for CHWs to prepare and share presentations on the work they are doing in their communities; begin to formalize the position within Illinois by introducing a standard CHW training curriculum, and information for a statewide CHW registry; and recognize CHWs, supervisors, and employers/payees who have gone above and beyond in their communities doing this vital work. The Summit will highlight a variety of topics pertaining to CHW work and include a diverse range of presenters.
