In Minnesota, The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) oversees a structured certification process for CHWs, emphasizing the importance of formal education and training. Following this, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) acknowledges the certified CHWs' role within the healthcare system, including mechanisms for Medicaid reimbursement for CHW services.
