Advocating for Idaho's CHW Profession

At the Idaho Community Health Workers Alliance, we believe real connection starts with a handshake — the kind you give at the farmer’s market, outside the clinic, or on a neighbor’s front porch. In a state where old dirt roads still lead to home, and where waves from passing pickups mean more than just “hello,” we’re building bridges between people and the care they deserve.

​

We’re grounded in face-to-face connection, helping hands, and hometown heart. From small-town crossroads to the bustling energy of our growing cities, we know Idaho’s strength lies in its people — and in the Community Health Workers who walk beside them and help navigate the healthcare world.

Whether we’re working a mobile clinic in a school gym, helping families connect to resources, or just showing up when it matters most, a CHW's mission is simple: healthy communities, connected neighbors, and no one left to walk their journey to health alone.

That is why ICHWA is here to support CHWs in every way.

Big state. Big hearts. Advocacy that understands.
