 Thank you so much for attending the summit and for rolling with us through our transition from having a live face-to-face summit to this wonderful virtual summit. I just wanted to offer some closing remarks and some thank yous and make sure that we pull it all together here at the end of the morning. We can go ahead and start with our slides. So one thing that I want to do is make sure that we offer this here. This is our flyer. So this is an advertisement of basically everything that went on today. You can still look at the CHW agenda to get presenter names and contacts and that sort of thing but we'll also share that. At the bottom you'll see the certificate of participation. So for everybody who's concerned about their continuing ed credits, this is the instruction for that. Make sure you complete your survey which Jordan should be linking into the chat box throughout this throughout this conclusion. And then we want to do our special thanks to Health Collaborative Board, Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Texas, Community First Health Plans, Bayer County Economic Development and Community Resources, Mays Family Foundation, San Antonio Area Foundation and San Antonio Metro Health. And of course to all the community health workers, some additional things that I want to express is also to the presenters. Carlos Rodriguez, Fred Schellenberg, Chuck Paul, Dr. Ellen Linn, Martha Pelaez, Genesis Sanchez, Dr. Cynthia Phelps, Belenita Jimenez and Palina Cano for contributing their energy and expertise to the 2020 Community Health Worker Summit. We also want to acknowledge and thank Nowcast and Executive Director Charlotte Ann for providing their technical expertise and skill set. Nowcast has been live streaming for 10 years, has been informing and engaging people about public policy, health, the environment, education and culture. And in addition, Gina Eisenberg, President of the Eisenberg Group continues to be vital within the key successes of the Health Collaborative Outreach. So those are all people that we want to thank not to mention and not to leave out Jordan, McElven and El Flores. These were some of the a couple of the moderators in the rooms today. So you'll have to make sure that you send them a shout out and a thank you as well. And let me go back, back to my Community Health Worker page. I want to, I want to share something with the community health workers. This day is all about you and all about the work that you're doing. So I wanted to make sure that we acknowledge you guys. So a community health worker provides cultural mediation between healthcare, social services in the community, a promotora or community health worker is a trusted member and has a close understanding of the ethnicity, language, socioeconomic status and life experiences of the community served. A promotora assists people to gain access to needed services and builds individual community and system capacity. They help increase health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, patient navigation, follow-up, community health education and information, informal counseling, social support, advocacy, and participation in clinical research. So today and every day the health collaborative celebrates each of our community health workers. We celebrate your unique walk through life, how you relate to the community. We celebrate your individual stories of who you are and the sacred intentions you each hold for your neighborhoods that you grew up in and the neighborhoods that you serve. We celebrate your ever readiness to be engineers of innovation, strategic planning on the spot crisis resolution. We celebrate you as you walk with your clients through their triumphs and support them through despair while not always receiving the recognition that you deserve. In addition to highlighting the vital roles each of you serve in the community we want to honor our Marta Castilla. She's our CHW certified instructor, has a lifetime of promotora experience, values, integrity, and deep rooted passion for the community she lives and serves in. Marta as a dedicated promotora works alongside her cohort as she instills core competencies and offers unending support and guidance. So I can't hear you guys but I'm going to ask you to give yourselves a round of applause and I really want to express the gratitude that we have for you guys through the health collaborative and so moving forward we have some announcements give me a minute to what yeah yeah so our continuing education um you've got the on this on the previous slide let me go back on this bottom part here you'll have your instructions on what qualifies you for your hours and then also you have a long survey monkey the bottom part is not showing on the slides Sophia um first I can't I don't know why but that's not showing up for people right now so let me let me read it out and then I think Jordan should be putting the link in in the chat box so you'll get five hours um to be awarded to those of you who attend the summit complete the survey at the end and then there's very specific information um regarding non-certified and dishes hw certification renewal so I can ask I'm going to ask Jordan to paste
