Idaho Community HealthCorps (ICHC) members will work at one of
the Community Health Centers and in the community to provide outreach
to families and individuals, assist with advocacy needs, provide
health education, and serve as a link between the community and
the health center. Major goals of the ICHC include fostering community
education and organizing health workshops, training and other community
outreach. The ICHC opens doors for personal and professional development
while learning an ethic of community service.
Activities ICHC members may be involved with are:
- Assisting people in finding medical treatment and immunizations
- Helping families enroll children in the Idaho Chip program
- Providing health education sessions, translation services and
assisting on various grant funded projects
- Offering mental health and substance abuse out-reach work
