My name is Courtney and I am a Community Health Worker.

How do you define a community health worker?

Community health workers are not just one person. It takes a team. It's amazing to see the wraparound care. When you have somebody that really needs that help, that really needs support, and you see a community come together, and that's what a community health worker is. A community coming together and helping one person out. And it makes all the difference.

Are you proud to be a community health worker?

I am super proud to be a community health worker. I love every aspect of community health. It is fantastic that we can work together to improve our communities.
