Outreach
IntroductionThrough Federal and State of Connecticut Department of Social Services funding, Outreach Workers are stationed at each Federally Qualified Community Health Center during traditional and non-traditional business hours. The goal of these workers is to identify eligible families with children and get them enrolled in the HUSKY program. Outreach Workers also provide referrals to other services including food or housing assistance. CHCACT provides educational training for outreach workers on chronic disease, preventive health, maternal and child health, health literacy, cultural sensitivity, communication skills, and outreach strategies to target populations. Outreach Workers participate in local health fairs, health initiatives such as flu or immunization clinics, and other community events. Many of the Outreach Workers are bilingual and have cultivated acceptance and trust within their local communities, allowing them to outreach special populations. Go to your local health care center and sign up for HUSKY!
