title: Workforce development in Maryland to promote clinical-community connections that advance payment and delivery reform.
abstract: Promoting clinical-community linkages is at the heart of Maryland's efforts systematically to transform health care delivery, with community health workers (CHW) playing a central role. This article describes how Maryland is using the evidence-base on CHW effectiveness and training to develop a workforce capable of most effectively connecting communities with care.
