Calaveras County Recruits Volunteer Community Health Workers To Help Manage Chronic Conditions

Calaveras County Public Health Services is launching no-cost workshops to train county residents to serve as volunteer community health workers to help adults with chronic illnesses -- such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis or depression -- learn how to self-manage their conditions. Officials said they are looking for volunteers with experience handling chronic conditions and who can commit to holding two workshop series annually for local residents.
