Five Missourians are recipients of the Missouri Foundation for Health’s inaugural Spark Prize — a $200,000 grant to individuals for their vision, commitment and promise to improve health and well-being in the state. One recipient is Ciearra “CJ” Walker, the St. Louis-based founder and CEO of the Community Health Worker Coalition. Walker talks about how her organization aims to have trained community health workers that help others navigate systems and reinforce that health outcomes aren’t just about hospital visits or clinic outcomes.
