This implementation guide provides a comprehensive roadmap for organizations planning to launch or scale a Community Health Navigator (CHN) program, developed out of the work and learnings of the ENCOMPASS Study.

The guide helps organizations assess their readiness through self-reflection questions, an implementation framework and guidance on creating an advisory team to co-create a program that fits the needs of the community.

It walks organizations through foundational decision-making costomizing all elements of the CHN program.

The guide contains practical tools for day-to-day operations. Each section is paired with a set of key questions to prompt organizational reflection and support tailored, context specific implementation.
