The Community HealthCorps
National Impact Evaluation
Findings & Research conducted by the University of El Paso (UTEP)
October 3, 2010
5. When serving in AmeriCorps through the Community HealthCorps of the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), Members work hard to help people gain access to health services and lead healthier lives. Here at NACHC, we want to make sure that story is told to those who fund and support AmeriCorps.To that end, NACHC sponsored the first national, independent evaluation of the Community HealthCorps carried out by a team based at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) under the direction of Dr. E. Lee Rosenthal, MPH.
The goal of the evaluation is to learn about the impact Community HealthCorps Members have had on the individuals, the clinics, and the communities; as well as the impact on AmeriCorps Members careers and other life choices.
The research and findings included in this report are on behalf of the UTEP evaluation team as of October 3, 2010.Media materials such as images and video are courtesy of Community HealthCorps programs during the 2010-11 program year.
