Kellogg Foundation Invests $3 Million in Community Health Workers
HealthConnect One is launching a national project that expands the community health worker (CHW) workforce to provide support for thousands of vulnerable families during pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and early parenting.
The three-year project, titled “Tapping Powerful Resources: Strengthening the CHW Workforce in Maternal and Infant Health,” will develop community-based doula and breastfeeding peer counselor programs at four sites in Michigan and New Mexico and build the CHW field nationally through workshops, regional and national conferences, data collection, and program evaluation.
The project is funded by a $3,077,084 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
