The Oregon Office of Rural Health (ORH) has partnered with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to coordinate a grant-funded program that will support the capacity of Oregon’s rural health organizations by growing the Community Health Worker (CHW) workforce in rural Oregon.

This is a grant program to fund the training of community health workers (CHW) for employment at rural health organizations- including hospitals, clinics, public health, EMS and other community-based organizations.

This scholarship will cover the tuition for the CHW training, a $1,500 value.

Eligibility

• CHWs must be currently employed at a rural health organization;
• The organization must be located in a rural area, as defined by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (check to see if your location qualifies as rural using the Am I Rural? Tool);

All trainings are virtual. Once you apply, you will be added to a waitlist and you will be notified when a spot opens up in an upcoming CHW cohort.
