H.Res. 607 is a symbolic resolution that designates August 25-29, 2025, as the third annual "National Community Health Worker Awareness Week." The resolution recognizes community health workers—frontline public health professionals who serve as cultural bridges between their communities and health care systems—and highlights their proven effectiveness in improving health outcomes in underserved areas. Community health workers perform diverse roles including health education, care coordination, outreach, and advocacy, and are known by various titles such as promotores de salud and community health representatives. The resolution calls for greater awareness and collaboration across local, state, and federal levels to support these workers and emphasizes the importance of sustainable funding to ensure fair wages and workforce retention. Since this is a resolution rather than legislation, it does not create new programs or allocate funding, but instead serves to honor and raise the profile of community health workers nationwide.
