Why It Matters
Community Health Workers are trusted frontline professionals who bridge the gap between health systems and the communities they serve. From addressing maternal health disparities to supporting reentry populations, CHWs are uniquely positioned to ensure health access, dignity, and equity.
“This conference is about more than professional development, it’s about building relationships and connections,” said Bria Grant, Executive Director of UniteWI. “By investing in CHWs, we invest in healthier families and stronger communities across Wisconsin.”
