FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action has an annual cost savings of approximately $555.00.
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department is requesting three Community Health Worker II positions assigned to the Women,
Infants and Children (WIC) Program within the Public Health Division to improve efficiency in serving its clients.
WIC Program provides checks for nutrition, nutrition education, referrals to health and human services and
breastfeeding support. Duties of Community Health Workers include providing assistance to Home Economists and
Public Health Nutritionists in health education and program enrollment. Utilizing this classification will significantly
reduce "wait times' for clients as Community Health Workers are able to perform intake, health education and referral
functions within their scope. Hence, the vacant clerical positions no longer meets the operational needs of the
program.
