This Project Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Health Professionals provides $749,100 to Ochsner Clinic Foundation under the Public Health Training Centers Program (CFDA 93.516) from September 15, 2022 to September 14, 2025. The funding will support Ochsner Health System's expansion and enhancement of its existing community health worker (CHW) training program and apprenticeship in Louisiana. Key deliverables include modifying the CHW curriculum to incorporate health disparities, technology disparities, and the Healthy State strategy; increasing the number of trained and employed CHWs integrated into healthcare teams; and aligning the demographics and placements of the expanded CHW workforce with community needs across the state. The program aims to strengthen the public health workforce and address health inequities through this specialized training and apprenticeship for CHWs.
