A Community Health Ambassador (CHA) is a trusted member of the community who helps individuals to better access and coordinate their health care.

The goal of the CHA is to assist identified individuals with the tasks of getting medical care, working on health goals (such as arranging care, , planning healthy meals, or finding time to exercise), and to help them deal with the “real-life” issues that keep them from staying healthy.

The CHA collaborates with other team members to conduct needs assessments to identify and respond to barriers to health and wellness.

This research study focuses on chronic diseases (e.g.

diabetes and hypertension) intervention among residents of Boston’s public housing developments and Trinity Management.

The CHA will work as a member of the Research Team and will perform research activities using approved protocols and procedures.

As the primary teaching hospital for Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and BU schools of public health and dentistry, intellectual rigor shapes our inquiries. Our research is led by a belief that skin color, zip code, and financial circumstances shouldn’t dictate health.
