Community Health Worker (Offered through Business and Workforce Education)
The Community Health Worker performs a broad range of health related functions and plays an important role in bridging the gap between cultures and healthcare systems. A Community Health Worker interacts with health care organizations to increase cultural competence, improve access to health care for racial and ethnic minorities, improve the quality of care for the chronically ill, promote healthy communities, and educate families about access to and use of health care coverage. This program is offered through RCTC's Center for Business and Workforce Education.
