Community health worker Model (CHW) for Health Care Delivery and Environment Programs focused on CHW Initiatives

Community Health workers are equipped with the tools and resources
necessary to bring about a change in the form of a rapid chain reaction.
The CHW Model focuses on the practices, strategies, plans and
implementation techniques needed to organize a Community Health
event based on diverse agendas: health, environment and minorities.
This model encompasses past experiences as a guide with tested
strategies to assist future health interns with ground framework and
resources to showcase the importance of adopting healthy and
environment friendly practices.The basic outline of the program is
based on data collected from twenty community health events in
Illinois. These events included back to the school fairs, cleanliness
drives and health camps. As community health workers can help in
implementing better practices in the masses through one-on-one
interactions, this model of CHW programs would outline event
organization tips, predicted outcomes, targeted audience and required
material templates. The next phase of this model highlights utilizing the
data and experience from these events to report to the health ministries
of different countries for incorporation of the proposed practices in
their health agendas and policies. This model, if implemented
unanimously could bring about a revolution in the arena of health
workers. They will be assisted at each step, will establish connections
with health workers globally and share their health and environment
based agendas to collaborate and organize important events. This
model envisions a strong established network of CHW, display of their
agenda and creation of a ripple effect throughout the society by the
means of these programs.
