*Outstanding CHW Award Nomination Form*

The Arizona Community Health Outreach Workers Association (AzCHOW) would like to recognize and honor the service of a Community Health Worker (CHW) in Arizona.

The American Public Health Association definition is: "A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a frontline public health trusted member of and/or has an in depth understanding of the community served. This trusting relationship enables the CHW to serve as a liaison/link/intermediary between health/social

services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service deliver. A CHW also builds individual and community capacity by increasing health

knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support and advocacy." (American Public Health Association, 2009)

CHWs are also known as Community Health Representatives, Cultural Health Navigators, Promotores, Community Health Advisors, etc.
