Our Industry Expertise
In 2018, Partners developed an in-person CHW curriculum for Blue Shield of California (BSC) to expand the healthcare workforce. This training has since transformed into an asynchronous, on-line learning course and approved by Los Angeles Community College District as a Certificate of Completion course provided at Los Angeles Valley College (LAVC).
Partners’ staff developed the CHW curriculum with Rush University’s Center for Health and Social Care Integration (CHaSCI). Partners has developed a CHW Supervisor Course to carry our partnership with CHaSCI forward.
Partners’ CHW Training Course aligns with the CHW Core Consensus Project (C3) competencies, preparing participants for state certification when the pathway is opened by the California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI). Following certification, CHWs will be able to bill Medi-Cal for Heath Related Social Needs (HRSN) services. Additionally, we now offer a Spanish CHW Training to provide bilingual support to participants.
Prepare Your Staff for CHW Certification
The State of California continues to face substantial workforce shortages across many health professions. They have identified the need for 25,000 new Community Health Workers before 2025, with specialized training to work with varying populations, such as justice-involved, people who are unhoused, older adults or people with disabilities. In response, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have released billing codes for Community Health Workers allowing your agency to be compensated for valuable Social Determinants of Health services.
