Summary
Scott Middleton breaks down the Community Health Worker role in full — what they actually do, how they should structure their days, why relationship-building (not billing codes) is the real engine of patient outcomes, and how this one position can transform an entire facility from the inside out. The core insight: the number one complaint from families isn't that CHWs visit too often — it's that nobody explains why they're there, and fixing that single communication gap changes everything.
