CHW Liberation Consulting, in collaboration with esteemed organizations across the Commonwealth of Virginia and the world, is committed to advancing the role of Community Health Workers (CHWs). We are dedicated to developing and implementing policies, training programs, and strategies that empower CHWs to make a significant impact on public health.
Recent Developments in Virginia:
Funding and Budget: Significant funding has been allocated to support CHW positions in Virginia's fiscal years 2025 and 2026. This funding will help sustain CHW roles that were previously supported by federal COVID-19 grants.
Certification and Training: Virginia supports the voluntary certification of CHWs through the Virginia Certification Board. The Virginia Department of Health, in partnership with other organizations, has established rigorous training program standards.
Medicaid Reimbursement: While recent legislation for Medicaid reimbursement of CHW services didn't pass, ongoing efforts are being made to secure future funding.
Key Partnerships: Organizations like the Virginia CHW Association and the Virginia CHW Workforce Development Council are crucial in supporting and developing the CHW workforce. These partnerships facilitate training, certification, and integration of CHWs into various health systems.
