“Corazón: The Legacy of Community Health Workers in the Columbia Gorge of Oregon and Washington.”
This important video shares the history of the Community Health Worker movement that began in 1988 and has blossomed into a nationally recognized profession. It highlights the stories of several of our wonderful CHWs, showing the diversity of their work and the many ways in which we serve our communities. There are now over 150 Community Health Workers (CHWs) working in our region alone.
We hope you enjoy the documentary. Please consider screening it with community groups and sharing it widely with friends and colleagues.
