What if the most powerful person on your care team isn't a nurse, a doctor, or a specialist — but someone showing up at 8:00 AM to check blood pressure, eat lunch with residents, and play vital signs bingo?
In this episode, we go deep on the Community Health Worker role: what it is, what it isn't, and why most organizations are dramatically underusing it. Scott pulls no punches on the disconnect between what CHWs are doing and what they should be doing — and why the difference is costing patients their health and workers their bonuses.
What you'll hear in this episode:
If you hire, manage, or are a community health worker, this episode will reshape how you think about the role. Hit play.
