Certifying Body In Development
In Illinois, they are actively working towards establishing a formal certification process for Community Health Workers (CHWs). This process is designed to standardize the qualifications and skills of CHWs to better integrate them into the healthcare system. As the certification is being developed, CHWs are encouraged to pursue training and professional development to enhance their competencies and service delivery.
The NCHW™ Registry recognizes the importance of these professional development opportunities and aims to connect Illinois CHWs with premier training options.
