New courses to enable baseline knowledge are now available for CHWs

Recent polls about the Affordable Care Act reveal that many Americans remain confused about the law. A Field Poll reports that fewer than half of the Californians who would be eligible for benefits under the law are aware that they are, while a Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll found that a majority of Americans are still unsure about how the law will impact them, and that awareness hasn’t improved since the law was enacted in 2010.

As enrollment for the Affordable Care Act ramps up to begin in October, Americans across the country are realizing they need to quickly become more knowledgeable about the Affordable Care Act. This need is even more pronounced among the organizations that provide community health support, and particularly among the Community Health Workers (CHWs) who are at the front lines.

“A lot of people don’t know the facts,” says Alecia Distin, an Americorp Volunteer and Community Health Worker for the Center for Black Women’s Wellness in Atlanta.
