ACCELERATED HEALTH CHAMPIONS
Over the last eight years, Central Health’s Community Health Champions program has graduated more than 360 dedicated, engaged advocates for health resources and equity in Central Texas. Many are community leaders and organizers, public health professionals and healthcare innovators, with a few regular folks who just care about healthcare. It’s been a great success.
This year, Community Health Champions is introducing new programs tailored to the needs of those with lived experience on the wrong side of Central Texas’ health disparities. The first class of “accelerated” Community Health Champions – so-named because it’s faster-paced than the traditional five-month program – spent March becoming educated and empowered about their rights to access healthcare and the resources that are available.
