Legacy and Continued Innovation (2000s–Present)

Today, community health workers (CHWs) at One Community Health (OCH) are fully integrated into a variety of programs that support both the Gorge community and OCH patients. The prenatal program offers comprehensive care for pre- and postpartum patients, providing a higher level of support than is typically found in primary care settings. The Salud program engages CHWs to deliver individualized and group-based support and counseling for managing type 2 diabetes. Meanwhile, the Outreach team connects with community members and patients in orchards, packinghouses, and other local settings, offering information on cancer screenings as well as access to medical, dental, and behavioral health services.
