Supporting the designation of the week of September 18 through September 22, 2023, as "National Community Health Worker Awareness Week".

HRES 722 designates the week of September 18-22, 2023, as "National Community Health Worker Awareness Week" to recognize the work of community health workers (CHWs). CHWs are trusted frontline health workers who connect underserved communities to care, provide cultural mediation, health education, and advocacy, and improve health outcomes in areas with limited resources. The resolution formally supports raising awareness of their contributions and encourages collaboration across local, state, and federal levels to advance their role in public health. This is a symbolic resolution with no binding policy changes, focused solely on recognition.
