Community:
Raise Community Awareness Through Networking, Outreach, and Education
- Sponsor health fairs, screening, and education. Focus on special populations (ethnic, cultural, etc.).
- Share information with schools and daycare centers.
- Provide education to people at shelters and soup kitchens about asthma, exercise, etc.
- Work with faith-based organizations or other groups where your patients naturally gather.
- Recruit and train migrant/homeless community health workers (CHWs) to assist in education and screening outreach programs.
- Recruit and train CHWs to link patients and providers (e.g., chart flagging, referrals, outreach, education, and transportation).
- Have CHWs assist during support group meetings (e.g., providing testimonials or helping with peak flow demonstrations).
