Where did you see meaning in your contribution this week? Purpose does not always show up in big moments. Sometimes, it is found in a conversation, a small act of support, a connection we helped make, or simply being present when someone needed us. The work we do, the experiences we share, and the ways we show up for others can remind us that what we bring matters. Purpose can look different for each of us. It may come from supporting someone through a challenge, sharing know

What possibility are you noticing? Opportunity often begins with noticing what could be. Sometimes it is a new idea, connection, resource, or next step that opens a door we had not considered before. Other times, opportunity can be found in something already around us; a strength we can build on, a relationship we can deepen, a need we can respond to, or a possibility that simply needs someone to recognize it. We can notice opportunities for ourselves, but we can also see pos

What is fueling your HOPE right now? Hope is often fueled by the things that remind us why we keep going. Sometimes it is a person who believes in us, a relationship that makes us feel supported, an accomplishment we are proud of, or an experience that reminds us how far we have come. Other times, it can be something small—a conversation that made us smile, an unexpected moment of joy, or simply having something to look forward to. When we take time to recognize what fills ou

Hello CHW Community, National Community Health Worker Awareness Week may have ended, but the conversations, connections, and HOPE we created together don’t have to. During iHOPE, we invited our community to reflect on Identity, Heart, Opportunity, Purpose, and Emerge. Honoring who we are, what matters to us, what we see as possible, why our contributions matter, and what we are becoming. But HOPE was never meant to end with one week. The week may have ended, but the conversat

National CHW Awareness Week Greetings, Monday, we began with one statement: iHOPE begins with me. Throughout this week, we made space for identity, listened to our Heart, looked toward Opportunity, and connected with Purpose. Now we arrive at Emerge. Emergence is meaningful because growth does not always happen loudly; sometimes something has been growing beneath the surface LONG before anyone else can see it. It may be an idea, confidence, a new direction, boundary, re

National CHW Awareness Week Greetings, Purpose can sound like such a big word. Sometimes we imagine it has to be a major calling, position, or movement that we will finally discover someday, yet I have come to appreciate how often purpose reveals itself in ordinary moments. It can happen in a conversation, when someone thanks you for listening, or when a resource reaches someone at exactly the right time. It can appear in a difficult meeting where someone finally speaks u

National CHW Awareness Week Greetings, One of the things I value most about being a Community Health Worker is our ability to notice. We notice the gap between what a system offers and what a person can actually access, strengths within communities that others may overlook and relationships or solutions that are already present. Very often, CHWs see opportunity before someone gives it a formal name. That is why today’s iHOPE focus is Opportunity. Opportunity is not only

National CHW Awareness Week Greetings, There are parts of community health work that can be measured: referrals completed, people reached, resources connected and appointments scheduled. Those numbers matter but some of the most meaningful parts of our work will never fit neatly into a spreadsheet. It may be the person who finally feels heard, the relationship that took months to build, or the community member who knows they can call you. Sometimes it is laughter in the m

National CHW Awareness Week Greetings, There was a time when I could tell you my titles much faster than I could tell you who I was. Wife, Mother, and Certified CHW can tell someone what I have done and studied or the credentials I hold and roles I occupy but they cannot tell the whole story of who I am. Our titles do not tell people what we have overcome, who taught us how to listen. or why certain communities feel like home. They cannot capture everything we notice, und
