Transcript What Does Being a Community Health Worker Mean to You My name is Carla Rose, and I was a resident care partner at the assist program in Kalispell Mt with Logan Health, and I've been doing this job for about 2 1/2 years. Being a community health worker entails many assets, and when you think you know it, you don't because you'll come up with a new client with new needs. It's. Helping people. Really don't have the life skills to help themselves and getting them on track on their not only their health, their mental health, their addictions, any aspect they may need help with and a lot of times especially I deal with a lot of homeless. Clients is they're so beaten down and so overwhelmed, it's difficult for them to even complete an application and they can't get it completed and they get lost in the system. So being an advocate for them and helping them, trying to teach them some skills to stay on top of things, take care of themselves. When that's not happened their whole life, it's very difficult, but giving them hope and giving them someone they can count on, I think is just crucial. And I think it's, I hope this role expands across the state, across the whole state of Montana because it is so needed. Not only for homeless, but elderly and homebound, and so many people, families, it's just crucial.
