The Community Health certificate at Jamestown Community College prepares you to enter the workforce as an entry-level public health worker in clinical settings and government agencies. Community health is an in-demand field, with the public health workforce in the U.S. experiencing a 40% decline since 2015, and losses accelerating since COVID-19.
JCC’s program equips you with the education to make public health accessible to the communities you serve, addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as international perspectives. As a community health worker, you’ll encourage people to adopt healthy behaviors, work to decrease health disparities and inequity, and act as an advocate for the community. A community health worker also helps clients navigate health agencies and health services.
