This includes planning and organizing group sessions, participating in community outreach events, and helping to recruit participants into the program through direct interactions, social media, and other forms of outreach. Work is performed under the general supervision of the PHN III Women’s Health Program Manager.

EBSs:

Group Prenatal Care and Community Health Worker Integration. Group Prenatal Care is a model of group care where pregnant individuals, who are due at about the same time, meet with their provider and other pregnant individuals for group sessions over the course of their pregnancy. Group sessions are 90 minutes to 2 hours in length and consist of health assessments, facilitated group discussion and interactive activities, and education on timely pregnancy, birth, and postpartum topics. Data supports that women have experienced positive birth outcomes and lower racial disparities for low birth weight and preterm births by participating in the group care model. Community Health Workers are trusted members of the community served and/or have a close understanding of the community served, which enables the CHW to serve as a liaison/link/ intermediary between health/social services and the community. This also enables the CHW to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery. CHWs are qualified to work with individuals of reproductive age, their children, and families in efforts to improve community outcomes for maternal and infant health.
