Tufts COHERE

Tufts Community Health Workers Engaging in Integrated Care (COHERE) is a program to train Tufts’ neighboring community members that have been economically and socially marginalized to become community health workers (CHWs). Our efforts aim to support community capacity building and health systems strengthening. The overall mission for Tufts COHERE is to increase the diversity of community members that become CHWs to promote health equity and improve health care access in underserved communities. Our commitment is to improve the linguistic capacity and representation of marginalized identities within the health care workforce serving our neighborhoods.
