Abstract

The Idaho Community HealthCorps Program (ICHC) is an AmeriCorps program housed at the Idaho State University Institute of Rural Health (ISUIRH) and funded by the National Association of Community Health Centers, Inc. (NACHC). ICHC members work out of Community Health Centers and other approved sites to provide outreach to families and individuals, assist with advocacy needs, provide health education, and serve as a link between the community and the health center. Major goals of the ICHC include fostering community education and organizing health workshops, training, and other community outreach. The ICHC is involved in several service projects of need in the community; two of those are represented in this photo essay (Habitat for Humanity and My Brothers Table).
