Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution designates the week of August 24 through August 28, 2026, as the fourth annual "National Community Health Worker Awareness Week" to recognize and honor community health workers across the United States. Community health workers are frontline public health professionals who serve as trusted liaisons between health services and underserved communities, helping people access care, improve health outcomes, and build community capacity in rural and underserved areas. The resolution acknowledges that these workers have been part of American public health for hundreds of years, are now professionally certified in 33 states, and have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing maternal and child health, chronic diseases, immunization, and other health challenges. The resolution calls on federal, state, and local governments to collaborate in raising awareness about the critical role these workers play and supports efforts to sustain and expand their workforce through stable funding. This is a symbolic measure with no direct funding attached, as resolutions serve primarily to express the sense of Congress rather than implement policy or allocate resources.
