On April 5 at District Hall in Downtown Providence, many CHWs champions and allies came together to collectively envision what’s possible for CHWs in Rhode Island. Of the 91 participants, at least 38 were CHWs! Soma Saha, MD, MS from WE in the World led the activities, with support from the Rhode Island Department of Health and the Care Transformation Collaborative of RI. Many challenging topics were discussed in-depth in large groups and breakout groups over four hours.
Next Steps
This collaborative process will continue over two online Zoom meetings on May 3 (3:30 – 4:30 p.m.) and June 7 (1:30-3 p.m.).
All CHWs, allies, and policy-makers are invited to participate. All participants from the April 5 CHW Roadmap Summit will automatically receive meeting invitations. (This includes anyone who registered in advance, but was unable to attend.) Members of the RI CHW Strategy Team will also automatically receive meeting invitations.
If you are also interested in attending the next CHW Roadmap Design meetings on May 3 and/or June 7, please email the RIDOH CHW Program at: Geraldine.mcphee.ctr@health.ri.gov.
Thanks to all who participated on April 5!
