Abstract
The author, a physician, describes her long history of working with community health workers (CHWs), as well as her admiration for her colleagues in CHW programs and for the late Dr Eva Salber. CHWs have a unique capability not only to serve their communities but also to transform American health care and public health. It is in society's interest to utilize many more CHWs in diverse roles and settings. This requires thoughtful program design, recruitment, trust, support, and full integration of CHWs into professional teams.
