TROY — A $3 million federal grant will enable Troy University to develop a program to train community health workers.
The three-year grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services allows Troy University’s College of Health and Human Services to develop a certificate program. The program will be administered through the university’s School of Nursing and School of Social Work and Human Services and will train and place community health workers in underserved areas within the state to help educate and direct residents to available services.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with Troy University to have a community health worker training program within the state,” Daniels said. “We are looking forward to working with and placing the individuals within the program with apprenticeship opportunities, as well as job placements.”
Community health workers provide education and help to connect residents with available health care resources.
