Community Health Workers Needed
The Howard County Health Department (HCHD) aims to address health disparities and the impact on chronic diseases. To address this, HCHD is seeking to recruit certified Community Health Workers (CHW) to serve as a link between health and social service programs and the community. CHWs must reside in the following zip codes: 21044, 21045, 20723, 20763, 20794.

CHWs will receive a small stipend, travel reimbursement, and additional support to provide health education materials and referral resource connections. 

Coalition members are asked to share this opportunity widely. Interested individuals may contact Emily Phillips, Health Disparities Project Coordinator, at 410-313-0632 or ephillips@howardcountymd.gov.
