Community Health Outreach Specialist
 
 
 
Following robust training that includes Community Health Worker Certification from an accredited institution, MEMBERS serving as Community Health Outreach Specialists (CHOS) foment change that renders health equity. Our community health program is based on non-clinical approaches for improving health, preventing disease and reducing health disparities through addressing social, behavioral, environmental, economic and medical determinants of health in a geographically defined population. Located in apartment communities, the program works with residents who are also supported by a broad range of programs that we run in tandem at the same location. Current Members say,"this experience has transformed my own life," and "working with these individuals each day fulfills me in ways I could never have imagined."
