Virtual Information Sessions

Northampton Community College will hold free, virtual information sessions on the career as a community health worker on Sept. 8, at 10 a.m. and Sept. 20, at 1 p.m. via Zoom.

Community health workers are trusted members of a community who help individuals overcome barriers to health care by linking them to community resources. The Affordable Healthcare Act mandates that CHWs are to be members of health care teams in patient-centered medical homes and accountable health care organizations.
