  45. Successes & Challenges Voices from the Field

  46. Job creation + Impact on wellbeing of clients CHW Job satisfaction Community Support for program Successes & Accomplishments

  47. “My CHW has been readily available to me whenever I needed anything. They have worked with me to help access services and saw me through the processes until I got the help I needed.” “[CHW] is a gem. She always made me feel like I was the only client she had and I know that is not true but she made me feel that way. She helped me with my insurance paperwork and prescription coverage and I am forever grateful. She has helped me regain confidence in myself.“ “The [Pathways] program has really been helpful in identifying programs and services that I otherwise would not have found on my own.” Client feedback

  48. "I think my short time as a community health worker has benefitted me as much or maybe more so than my clients. This experience has enlightened me not only to the problems we face as a community but also the great things we have to offer; that to really be a "community"  we have to work together for - and with - one another. I am excited about the possibilities". “The [MPBH] program allows me to connect personally with my patients to help them identify and access programs and services they truly need in order to live healthier lives. It makes me feel good to see the positive changes in patient’s lives after helping them overcome the different barriers in their way to staying healthy.” CHW Feedback

  49. “I just want you to know what a privilege it has been to work with you in the Pathways Program. First of all my hope is this program will continue for a long time. When I think about the Community Health Workers involved with this program, they perhaps have no idea how valuable they are. I am thinking of two patients we referred from [hospital] and what an impact they have made in their lives. They have provided transportation, reminded of appointments, helped self manage medications for those that live alone. Those three things alone can preventan unnecessary readmission to the hospital. Secondly, many of this population that is served by your program, have fallen in the cracks of health care. They may not know what social services are available to them or what their "insurance" may or may not cover. If the services are not covered they are directed to an agency that may be able to assist. Thank you seems insignificant, but I am thankful for this service and plan to continue to make referrals.” Provider Feedback

  50. Meeting grant enrollment targets • Engaging reluctant patients • Ongoing funding/sustainability • Scarce community resources • Universal – e.g., transportation • Unique to each community – e.g., psychiatric services Challenges
