Description
The road to ending the epidemic must be paved with community engagement.

DC Health piloted three innovative care models to strategically ensure the community's voice is permanently embedded in HIV services.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the benefits of CHW standardization and certification.
- Learn to incorporate CHWs in your prevention, care and treatment model.
- Manage CHWs and the complexities they face being a part of the community and providing services to the community.
