The goal of Advance Health Equity Program is to advance health equity in Priority Tier 1 and 2 communities through COVID-19 related and health equity promotional activities conducted by Community Health Workers (CHWs). This aligns with the Center for Disease Control (CDC)’s mission to reduce COVID-19 related health disparities and promote health equity among racial/ethnic minority populations. It also aligns with Houston Health Department (HHD)’s goal to build community infrastructure in health promotion to minority communities through CHWs.
