Past Webinar Recordings


Improving Access to Aging Services with Community Health Workers
(November 26, 2019)


webinar recording

CHWs advocate for health and social justice in hard-to-reach communities by providing health outreach and education, client-centered counseling and case management, and client and community-based advocacy. They work to reduce unequal rates of illness, disability, and death and to achieve health equity and justice, prioritizing communities with the greatest health risks. Increasingly, the aging and elder justice networks are exploring how CHWs can promote justice and health in aging and prevent elder abuse and neglect. 

Panelists include:

Tim Berthold is the Coordinator of the Community Health Worker Certificate Program at City College of San Francisco. He is editor of the Foundations for Community Health Workers textbook, and the companion Training Guide published by Jossey-Bass in 2016. He has worked with community-based health and human rights projects in diverse communities in the Bay Area and internationally. 

Linda Mack-Burch works in Case Management at Bayview Senior Services.  Previously, she was the Program Director of the Dr. George W. Davis Senior Center in San Francisco. She has championed the use of CHWs in multiple settings for decades, including their use in eliminating disparities in African American infant mortality. She serves on the Technical Advisory Committee of CCSF’s CHW program and works with the program to design CHW field work experiences with older adults. 

Nicole Howell is the Executive Director for Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa and Solano Counties in California, where she works in partnership with Mount Diablo Adult Education and Opportunity Junction to operate the Health Career Pathway Initiative. The initiative was designed to improve the quality of care to uninsured, underinsured, underserved and vulnerable Contra Costa residents who are at greatest risk for poor health, while providing educational and career pathways to economic sufficiency for low-income individuals.


This National Elder Justice Advocates Academy webinar was hosted by CEJC with support from the Huguette Clark Family Fund for the Protection of Elders.
