This past June, Santa Clara Family Health Plan (SCFHP) launched its Community Health Worker (CHW) Certification Training Program. On December 7, SCFHP proudly celebrated the graduation of 29 newly certified CHWs, with an outstanding 85% graduation rate. The goal of SCFHP’s CHW Certification Program is to create a clear pathway for CHWs to become certified, learn and practice important skills, and meet the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) requirements to bill for services provided under the CHW Medi-Cal benefit. This Program is made possible because of the generous support of SCFHP’s Board Innovation Fund, which demonstrates SCFHP’s commitment to advancing the CHW workforce and investing in the health of our community. One of our graduates shared, “We have already been doing a lot of the stuff we are learning, but we get to practice it with role –playing so we can be better.” Another graduate noted, “One of the biggest takeaways is the networking with other peers in the class—it’s been the best way to learn more about resources in Santa Clara County.” A heartfelt thank you to SCFHP’s curriculum developers and training partners at Foundations Group Consulting and our training administrator, Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, for their invaluable collaboration in the program. Congratulations to all the graduates! Your dedication to improving the health and well-being of our community is inspiring!
So excited to see this wonderful group. Congratulations!!
