Please complete online CHW Employer Survey by 12/16/2015

The MN CHW Alliance is partnering with WellShare International to conduct a survey of potential and existing CHW employers in Minnesota. Survey results are an important component of the comprehensive CHW Tool Kit that we are creating with funding from the Minnesota Department of Health via its State Innovations Model (SIM) grant, and will help advance CHW integration in Minnesota.

As a member of the Alliance, you are vital to our efforts! We are requesting your participation in one of the following ways:
  1. If you supervise CHWs or are the person who is knowledgeable about your organization's interest in CHWs, please participate in the survey at the link below.
  2. If you are an employer or potential employer of CHWs, please forward this to the person in your organization or department who knows the most about your CHW activities and ask them to complete the survey at the link below.
  3. If you know of any other organization who may have an interest in CHWs, please help us by forwarding this email to a key staff person/manager.
Link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KLBV8JC

Please complete the survey by Wednesday, December 16, 2015. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact the CHW Toolkit Project Manager, Laura Ehrlich Sanka, at lehrlich@wellshareinternational.org or by phone at 612-230-3256.

Thank you very much in advance for your participation and assistance!
