• Care managers: Help to coordinate care, make appointments, and empower patients to reach self-management goals.

• Community health workers: Trusted members of the community or population served that help to reduce barriers to care.

• Public health nurses: Provide information, skills, and referrals to patients with complex health conditions.

• Recovery specialists: Community health workers trained in substance abuse disorder treatment and recovery.
