They felt important to us and when the guy saw us the next time we gave him just a hygiene kit, a razor, and he walked up to us the next time we were out there and he was like: hey, the razor came in handy.
Meet the unsung heroes of East Texas – Community Health Workers (CHWs). In this episode of 'Learn MORE with the CORE', program manager Christy Warren dives into the heart of the new Community Health Worker program. CHWs are the bridge between healthcare and the community, offering not just medical knowledge but also social support, advocacy, and vital referrals. They are on the front lines, distributing Naloxone to combat drug overdoses and providing education on drug use and safety.
Warren shares heartfelt stories of delivering hygiene kits and making crucial calls for housing assistance, underscoring the personal touch that makes a world of difference. This episode shines a light on how CHWs collaborate with law enforcement and other organizations to uplift those who are unsheltered, treating each person with dignity and respect. If you're curious about how grassroots efforts can transform communities or want to understand the vital role of CHWs, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s a testament to the power of individualized care and community collaboration in making East Texas a better place for everyone.
