WFC provided outreach in these communities and awareness programs via one-on-one counseling, website educational materials, decision guides, over the phone counseling and in-person counseling at the main office. Medicaid enrollment, case management and coverage to care services to 458 households including Medicaid redeterminations, explanation of benefits, helping with selection of the Medicaid plans and network benefits were provided to the mosque-community members. Competency Training: A Community Health Worker competency building program, specializing in health care coverage, was administered by the ED to train community volunteers and lay health workers representing language and cultural competency, to assist the community members on coverage-to-care and health care navigation. After the classroom style knowledge transfer training, volunteers were provided with laptops and other connectivity equipment to provide secure outreach at specific mosque-communities to assist the vulnerable population. These folks provided the Medicaid enrollment and outreach program at the designated mosque sites and also at the office for individuals who walked in with the documentation for assistance. Community Health Research: WFC received a subaward for a community health research project to participate as a grassroot connector organization to engage mosque-community stakeholders with patient-centered outcomes research project. The initiative highlighted health priorities for the community, trained 17 individuals in patient-centered outcomes research methodology and project management methodology.
