This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and honor the importance of dignity, inclusion, and equitable access to care for all.

Healthy communities are built when every person feels seen, respected, and supported. Community Health Workers help create connections, reduce barriers, and uplift individuals where they are.

MiCHWA celebrates diversity and the strength of inclusive communities this Pride Month and beyond! 🤩

Today, we honor and remember the brave service members who gave their lives in service to our country.

In observance of Memorial Day, our office is closed and will reopen Tuesday, May 26th. We reflect with gratitude on their sacrifice and extend our appreciation to the families who carry their legacy forward.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a time to recognize that mental health is an essential part of overall well-being. Everyone deserves access to support, compassion, and care.

Community Health Workers play an important role in helping individuals navigate resources, reduce barriers, and build stronger, healthier communities.

This month and every month, let’s continue to break stigma and support mental wellness for all. 💚

Community Health Worker employment is projected to grow 11% over the next decade - much faster than average (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).

As communities continue to need trusted advocates, support systems, and health navigators, CHWs are more important than ever.
