Featuring Shreya Kangovi and Lisa Kidd
This week, we have two very exciting guests: Shreya Kangovi, an internist/pediatrician and researcher who studies CHW interventions and developed a multi-stakeholder team-based CHW model called IMPaCT (Individualized Management towards Patient-Centered Targets), and went on to found the Penn Center for Community Health Workers. These organizations work to deliver care to patients in Philadelphia, provide training and capacity building, as well as performing ongoing research. Our second guest, Lisa Kidd, is a CHW who works at the Penn Center and will join us to talk about her experiences as a CHW. You can find some of Dr. Kangovi’s publications here.
