What Are Community
A Community Health Worker is a frontline public health professional who is a trusted member of your community.
They do personal assessments through in-person visits or online calls to address each person's unique circumstances.
They work alongside your primary care providers to help you reach your health goals, navigate complex systems, and connect with the resources that make lasting well-being possible.

Worker Assessment
Many members of Medi-Cal plans through Kaiser Permanente, Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP), and Community Health Plan of Imperial Valley (CHPIV) are surprised to learn that they may qualify for free or low-cost support services.
Unfortunately, these benefits often go unused because they are not well explained, not widely advertised, or simply hard to navigate on your own.
If you or someone you care for is a member of any of these three organizations, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free assessment.
During the call, our Community Health Workers will ask a few simple questions to better understand your situation and help identify services and benefits you may already qualify for but may not realize are available.
There is no cost for this assessment, and no obligation to move forward.
Depending on eligibility and approval, support may include:
-
Help with first and last month’s rent
-
Home modifications to improve safety and accessibility
-
Free or tailored meal programs
-
Other supportive services designed to help people remain safe at home
How Much Do CHWs Cost?
Eligible individuals may receive Community Health Worker services at no cost, while private-pay clients pay a service fee.
Medi-Cal-Covered Services (Free for Eligible Individuals)
If you are a member of a Medi-Cal plan through Kaiser Permanente, Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP), or Community Health Plan of Imperial Valley (CHPIV), you may be able to receive Community Health Worker services at no cost.

For private-pay clients, the service is offered as case management at $60/hour, billed in 15-minute increments, so a 15-minute session with a social worker can be just $15.
