Community Health Works

What Community Health Works does

Community Health Works (CHW) is a non-profit public charity headquartered in Macon, Georgia (300 Mulberry Street, Suite 603), founded in 1999 to improve health outcomes across the state of Georgia through preventive health education and community engagement. The organization delivers a portfolio of customizable Health Awareness Campaigns covering cancer prevention (cervical, colon, breast, lung, prostate, skin), HPV vaccination, vaping cessation, teen dating violence, and human trafficking, alongside an extensive blog library (40+ indexed pages) organized across categories such as Cancer, Eat Better, Move More, See Your Doctor, and Take Care. Specialized resource hubs — including a Colorectal Cancer Information Hub and dedicated streams on vaping and human trafficking — extend the campaign surface, with operational programs including the Mulberry Market farmers market in Bibb County and a recurring calendar of health fairs, school presentations, and wellness expos.

CHW's underlying technology stack is a standard informational website (chwg.org) with no mobile app, no public or partner-facing API, and no disclosed AI components; distribution is via the website, organic social (Facebook, X, Instagram), an email newsletter subscription, and direct in-person community outreach across Georgia. Field outreach — including school-based programs such as "Let's Talk About Vaping" — is the primary differentiator versus a pure content publisher.

The business model is that of a publicly supported charity: all educational content, campaigns, and events are provided at no cost to end users. Revenue is generated from donations, charitable contributions, and grants, with named major supporters including the Georgia Department of Public Health, HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration), the Rural Cancer Coalition (RCC), and Oscar Health. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees.
