Explanation
BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health has a need to contract with The Ohio State University College of Nursing, to provide formal education and certification to CelebrateOne Community Health Workers, a key component in the CelebrateOne Community Connector Corps Project funded by the United Health Foundation Grant. This new project is designed to identify, train and support resident-to-resident engagement in eight high priority neighborhoods determined by the Greater Columbus Infant Mortality Task force.
