Plain-English Summary

The proposal would officially recognize the week of August 25-29, 2025, as "National Community Health Worker Awareness Week" to highlight the work of community health workers who provide healthcare services and education in their local neighborhoods. Community health workers—people who bridge the gap between healthcare providers and underserved populations—would be celebrated for their role in improving public health outcomes and reaching people who might otherwise lack access to medical care. This is a symbolic designation meant to raise awareness about this profession rather than create new laws or funding.
