Community Health Impact Coalition

THE SOUND SOLUTION

Community Health Impact Coalition is making professional community health workers (proCHWs) the norm worldwide. We create international guidelines. We increase global funding. And we win national policy.

Indisputable evidence confirms that CHWs improve health outcomes—with considerable equity and economic dividends. Governments can generate a 10:1 return on investment with community health workers. And proCHWs could save two million lives annually.

WHAT WE DO

A powerful, symbiotic machine for policy change.

OUR UNAPOLOGETIC VISION

Quality care for all, including those who provide it.

“The progress of professional community health workers is a beautiful story of a scalable solution. CHIC is emergent, brought into being by the doers themselves. It is wisely organized around explicit best practices for an effective proCHW model.”

—Kevin Starr, Mulago Foundation
