Please join us in congratulating one of our incredible Community Health Workers, Aleisha Kuntu, for winning three awards at the 2026 Wisconsin Community Health Worker Gathering!
Aleisha won the Resiliency Award, the Emerging Leader Award, and the Legacy Award. Here are a few words from Aleisha regarding her work:
"I'm Aleisha - a Community Health Worker out of the La Crosse area, and I show up every day for vulnerable and underserved folks because I am the community I fight for. I connect people to healthcare, resources, and support, but my work goes way beyond a job title. I'm also a business owner, an author, a facilitator, and a recovery coach. Every role I hold is rooted in lived experience, not theory. Everything I've overcome fuels the work I do now. I'm here to make sure people feel seen. supported, and empowered. I'm here to show that healing is possible, that change is real, and that your story doesn't end where your struggle begins. I built a path for myself, and now I'm helping build one for the community I call home."
Congratulations, Aleisha! Thank you for all of the work that you do!
