CHAI
advisory committee
Upon notification of funding from SCDHHS, CCHA coalesced an advisory committee of CHWs, AccessHealth initiatives, hospital networks, and other stakeholders to provide input and direction on the development of CHAI for the Palmetto State. This advisory committee consisted of several subcommittees that focus on data and evaluation, funding priorities, and CHW program fidelity. Following the guidance provided by these individuals, CCHA is implementing CHAI across South Carolina.
