Pathways Were Completed by CHWs
The NEON Pathways Community Hub program operated for over 10 years, helping to start and fund Community Health Worker (CHW) programs across Northeast Oregon. In this time, the Hub worked with nearly 40 CHWs and provided over $1.6M in outcomes-based funding for partners. The Pathways Hub helped build the foundation for CHW services in Northeast Oregon and demonstrating their impact.
In 2020, Oregon Health Authority released new billing codes for CHW services, expanding funding for these critical community providers. Based on these changes in the CHW landscape, as well as declining funding for the program, NEON ended the Pathways Hub program at the end of 2024. NEON will be taking the lessons learned from this program to enhance our support for CHWs in other program areas.
