Description
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in partnership with Oregon Health and Science University and Familias en Acción, will present a hybrid event on the role community health workers play in improving the health of the U.S. workforce.
Discussion at the event will focus on the economic impact of community health worker programs, including past research on the topic and a pilot program in Oregon that seeks to show the advantages that employers gain from providing community health workers as an employee benefit. The discussion is intended for an audience of corporate leaders, insurers, policymakers, community health workers, and community-based organizations and foundations.
