Students can immediately start their public health care career on completion of the Community Health Worker (CHW) program at Central Oregon Community College. The 11- week class prepares students to become an Oregon Health Authority-approved community health worker and join the front-line public health workforce. CHWs find jobs in health departments, medical clinics, community organizations, and social service agencies.

Certified community health workers provide culturally appropriate health education, connect residents with social supports, and advocate for health needs. Studies have shown that their work improves health outcomes, reduces health care costs, and advances health equity.
