What is Southwest Washington CBW Awareness Week?
Southwest Washington CBW Awareness Week is a time to recognize and celebrate Community-Based Workers and the important role they play in supporting health, connection, and care across our communities.
Community-Based Workers help people access resources, navigate services, build confidence, and stay connected to their community. They may serve in many roles, including Community Health Workers, peer support specialists, doulas, promotores, outreach workers, navigators, care coordinators, and other trusted community-based positions.
While their titles may vary, their work is rooted in trust, relationships, and community connection. CBW Awareness Week is an opportunity to honor their impact and help more people understand the value they bring to individuals, families, organizations, and systems of care.

Celebrating Southwest Washington Community-Based Workforce Awareness Week
July 20–24 is the 3rd Annual Southwest Washington Community-Based Workforce Awareness Week, a regional campaign recognizing the vital contributions of Community-Based Workers across Clark, Klickitat, and Skamania Counties.
Community-Based Workers serve in many roles, including Community Health Workers, peer support specialists, doulas, promotores, outreach workers, navigators, care coordinators, and other trusted community-based positions. Through relationship-building, advocacy, outreach, and care coordination, they help individuals and families access resources, navigate complex systems, and stay connected to their communities.
This week is an opportunity to celebrate the collective impact of the Community-Based Workforce across Southwest Washington while also recognizing the dedicated staff within our own organization who provide these essential services every day. We are proud to acknowledge the expertise, compassion, and commitment of our Community-Based Workers and the meaningful difference they make in the lives of those they serve.
Join us in recognizing and thanking the Community-Based Workers who strengthen our communities, improve access to care and services, and help create a healthier, more connected Southwest Washington.
