SUMMARY:ARCHWA Webinar: CHW Certification through the Arkansas Department o
 f Health
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nARCHWA Webinar: CHW
  Certification through the Arkansas Department of Health\nThe ARCHWA Webin
 ar: CHW Certification through the Arkansas Department of Health is a free\
 , one-hour online event scheduled for Tuesday\, December 8\, 2026\, from 2
 :00–3:00 p.m. Central Time. Organized by the Arkansas Community Health W
 orker Association (ARCHWA)\, it focuses on Arkansas Department of Health (
 ADH) certification as the state prepares for Medicaid reimbursement of CHW
  services.\nWhat the webinar covers\nThe central subject is how Community 
 Health Workers become certified through ADH under Arkansas's evolving stat
 ewide framework. Arkansas established statewide CHW certification through 
 Act 435 of 2025\, with certification pathways that include experiential\, 
 traditional-training\, and apprenticeship routes\; certification is tied t
 o recognized core competencies and ongoing professional development.\nWhy 
 it matters\nThe webinar arrives as Arkansas moves toward connecting formal
  CHW certification with reimbursement for qualifying CHW services\, includ
 ing through Medicaid. That makes the session particularly relevant to prac
 ticing CHWs\, prospective CHWs\, supervisors\, health-care organizations\,
  and community organizations trying to understand how certification fits i
 nto employment and reimbursable service delivery.\nArkansas's certificatio
 n framework\nThe state's certification system grew from several years of c
 ollaboration among ARCHWA\, ADH\, UAMS\, CHWs\, health-care organizations\
 , and other stakeholders. The work included defining CHW competencies and 
 certification structures\, while preserving substantial CHW participation 
 in the process\; Arkansas now recognizes multiple routes intended to accom
 modate both experienced workers and people entering through formal trainin
 g or apprenticeship.\nEvent details\nThe event is online\, lasts approxima
 tely one hour\, and is listed by both ARCHWA and Eventbrite for December 8
 . ARCHWA describes it specifically as preparation for Medicaid reimburseme
 nt and an opportunity to learn about certification through ADH\, rather th
 an as a certification course itself.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
