PN and CHW Portal Powered by United Way 2-1-1 Portal Link (Under construction): https://chwpn.communityos.org/cms/
Through the PN and CHW Portal, navigators can connect with peers within their community and statewide to ensure seamless transition of care throughout the continuum linking to resources.  2-1-1 is in place as a support mechanism and ‘powers’ the PN CHW portal  that helps as a  backdrop of over 13,000 resources-in addition to the several hundred programs that have CHW and PNs connected within the portal. If you have a service or program to be included in the portal, click here to enter your program information.

The Community Health Worker and Patient Navigator Work Group is a statewide coalition comprised of local and state agencies, advocacy groups, philanthropic organizations and public & private health plan representatives.  This group coalesced in an effort to align all of the various patient navigator/community health worker/promotoras groups in our state and identify and develop a sustainable model for this important work.

Project ECHO and Patient Navigator/Community Health Worker Learning Communities

"The Colorado School of Public Health and The Colorado Patient Navigator Training Collaborative are thrilled to announce the launch of Learning Communities through Project ECHO to support connection and partnership within the community, focusing upon CHW and PN related interests and topics.  Click the links to view background information about Project ECHO and Training Opportunities through PNTC.

How It Works: Through the Project ECHO model, over several sessions and several months:

• Topic experts present brief trainings on current best practice strategies and patient navigators present cases on the application of those strategies in their practice using bi-directional video.
• Topic experts and other participants discuss cases and recommendations are made regarding next steps. Patient navigators may bring the same cases back for ongoing decision making support.
