This report covers a decade of partnership, innovation and field-building to train, support and provide sustainable funding for community health workers in Minnesota.

Immigrants, people of color and people living in poverty are particulartly at risk. Community health workers are a critical part of the solution. They provide outreach, information, referral, advocacy and other support to promote health for underserved communities, and strengthen the cultural competence of health and service organizations. Ten years ago the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation began investing in research, grantmaking and partnerships through the Critical Links Community Health Worker project.
