WellShare is the pioneer of the community health worker model in Minnesota. The community health worker model fosters local, sustainable solutions that address the root causes of health disparities and advance wellness for individuals, families, and communities. We lead programs that promote healthy living, reduce health disparities, and increase cost-efficacy, all things that support a brighter future for our communities.
WellShare works with underserved communities in Minnesota and Africa to disrupt the cycle of generational poverty, disease, and trauma. We currently serve 16 Minnesota counties and dozens of villages in the Bariadi district of Tanzania. WellShare has offices in Minneapolis and Mankato, Minnesota.
A community health worker (CHW) is a trusted community member that bridges both language and cultural barriers that prevent many from accessing quality healthcare. Many of our CHWs are first or second-generation immigrants from Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Their lived experience fosters credibility and trust, making them uniquely qualified to provide support.
