The Community Health Worker (CHW) will support the implementation of the CHW Pilot designed to address health disparities, improve outcomes, and reduce avoidable utilization among Medicaid members with Type 2 diabetes. This role is critical in addressing identified needs, including high diabetes prevalence and significant social determinants of health (SDoH) risk within targeted counties. The CHW will engage directly with members to improve self-management, enhance access to care and community resources, and support overall health outcomes through culturally appropriate, community-based interventions.

The CHW will serve as a liaison between members, the care management team, providers, and community resources, with a focus on improving member experience, increasing primary care engagement, and reducing emergency department and inpatient utilization.
