The Ohio Board of Nursing has re-certified the Pathways Community HUB Institute’s Community Health Worker Training Program for another two years, through July 2026. The PCHI® CHW program is just one of 14 approved training programs in the state and was the first such program approved by OBN in 2005.
"Receiving recertification from the Ohio Board of Nursing is a testament to the quality and impact of our Community Health Worker Training Program. Our dedicated instructors not only impart crucial skills but also inspire our CHWs to make a meaningful difference in their communities,” said Mary Martell, PCHI Director of Education and Training. “This continued recognition reinforces our commitment to excellence in training and supporting the next generation of CHWs.”
PCHI’s CHW training is specifically designed around implementing the PCHI Model. Experienced instructors teach essential care coordination skills including the PCHI Model itself (21 Pathways, visit and progress forms, research-based learning modules, etc.); history and roles of CHWs; communication and interpersonal skills; relationship building; problem solving skills; outreach, service coordination and navigation skills; and several more competency areas.
“Congratulations to our great team of Ohio PCHI Certified CHW instructors for their leadership and expertise. CHWs are central to care coordination and to the PCHI Model. They are the front line in assisting under-resourced residents and connecting them to health and social services that will lead living a more healthy and stable life,” said Jan Ruma, PCHI President and CEO.
