Today, we celebrate the people who make this work possible.
Community Health Workers are often the first person someone trusts, the first person who answers the phone, and sometimes the first person who truly listens. They meet people where they are, walk alongside them through some of life’s toughest moments, and help turn barriers into opportunities.
The impact of a Community Health Worker can’t always be measured in numbers. It’s found in healthier babies, stronger families, stable housing, access to care, and lives changed because someone took the time to show up and help.
At CHAP, we believe Community Health Workers are one of the most powerful forces for improving health and strengthening communities. Every day, they prove that real change happens through relationships, trust, and a commitment to helping others succeed.
To every CHW across Ohio and beyond: thank you for the work you do, the lives you touch, and the difference you make. Your work matters. Your voice matters. Your impact matters.
A special thank you to Buckeye Imagination Museum for graciously allowing us to take over their space for today’s celebration, and to our partners at UnitedHealthcare, AmeriHealth, and the many partner agencies that donated gifts and helped make this day possible. Your support helps us recognize and celebrate the incredible work Community Health Workers do every day.
Today, we celebrate you.
Happy Community Health Worker Day!
