Establishes "New Jersey Community Health Worker Program" in DOH and certain training programs for community health workers.

This bill establishes the New Jersey Community Health Worker Program within the Department of Health to standardize training and certification for community health workers. The program requires integration of these workers into Medicaid reimbursement, connecting people in medically underserved communities to healthcare resources and improving access. It mandates implementation starting in Newark within one year, expanding statewide within five years, and creates an advisory board with diverse community and healthcare representation. The program also requires a standardized curriculum for substance use disorder support services, developed with input from experts and shared as best practices.
