Supporting the designation of the week of August 25 through August 29, 2025, as the third annual "National Community Health Worker Awareness Week".

Key Points

• This resolution officially recognizes the week of August 25 through August 29, 2025, as a time to celebrate community health workers. These workers act as a bridge between doctors and the people they serve, especially in neighborhoods that lack easy access to medical care.
• Community health workers go by many names, including outreach workers, aunties, and promotores de salud. They help people by explaining health information in ways that make sense for their culture, helping them find social services, and even doing basic health checks like blood pressure screenings.
• The goal of this awareness week is to highlight how these workers improve health outcomes in areas like maternal care and chronic disease. By raising awareness, supporters hope to encourage more funding and better pay for these frontline workers.
