Community Health Worker jobs by city

Community health workers connect people to care they are not getting. They help a patient book the visit, find the ride, understand the instructions, and apply for coverage. Many of them come from the neighborhood they serve and speak its language.

Health centers, health departments, hospitals, and health plans employ them. The work often rides on a grant or a Medicaid program, so the role can change shape when the funding does.

The work

A day can be home visits, phone follow-ups, and a stack of forms for food, housing, or coverage. You track who missed a visit and find out why.

You are a messenger in both directions. You explain the plan to the patient, and you tell the care team what is getting in the way.

License and training

There is no national license. Many states run a certification for community health workers, often voluntary and often tied to Medicaid payment. Confirm what your state and your payer require before you post the role.
