By designating a specific week to honor these individuals, the bill aims to highlight their dedication and hard work, as well as to encourage others to consider a career in this important field. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 722 is a bipartisan effort to recognize and celebrate the vital role that community health workers play in our healthcare system and to promote greater awareness and appreciation for their contributions.
