By the 1980s, Community Health Workers\/Promotores (CHW\/Ps) were a formal part of numerous public health initiatives across California. While these efforts initially focused on community health education, more recently social service organizations and health care systems have engaged CHW\/Ps to support outreach, education, patient navigation and case management efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n
