Each year during the SCDAA Annual National Convention, we recognize the amazing work performed by community health workers (CHWs) with the SCDAA P.O.W.E.R. CHW Award. The CHW Award honors exemplary performance by individuals who have been identified by their supervisors and peers as having consistently excelled in their positions and demonstrated integrity and a strong commitment to the sickle cell disease (SCD) community and values of the community health worker profession.
If you would like to nominate a CHW for the award, please fill out the below document and submit to the SCDAA Senior Community Impact & Engagement Manager Kevin Amado at kamado@sicklecelldisease.org. The deadline for submission is Friday, August 29.
