Hosted by the South Dakota Foundation for Medical Care (SDFMC), the session will emphasize the value of the community health worker (CHW) network for improving positive health outcomes and the patient experience.

Christine Arnold, MD, from Sanford Health Mitchell Clinic will share her perspective on how community health workers (CHW) improve patients’ experience of care and reduce the cost of care. Throughout the session, Dr. Arnold will discuss the successes and challenges of Integrating CHWS into Medical Practice.

CHWs are a trusted resource for individuals navigating unfamiliar or stressful health care situations. These frontline public health workers use their understanding of cultures and communities to connect people with needed health care and social services.

“I believe in helping children and families in their times of need. I help raise healthy, positive children who reach for the stars in achieving their dreams and aspirations,” shared Dr. Arnold.
