It serves three primary constituencies: Community Health Workers/Promotoras seeking training, certification, and professional recognition; uninsured and underinsured individuals who need connections to primary and preventive care; and healthcare providers and employers integrating CHWs into their care teams.

Scale indicators1 record

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Unite Us: Established social care coordination platform with statewide networks that compete with the Coalition's CHI Referral System. Comparable referral functionality but as a venture-backed technology vendor rather than nonprofit coalition.
• Florida Department of Health: State government health agency that is the Coalition's Core partner. Comparable in CHW workforce development and public health mission in Florida, but as the regulator and primary funder rather than a peer organization.

Direct peers

• Arizona Community Health Workers Association: State-level CHW association in Arizona providing training, advocacy, and workforce development. Highly comparable as a state-scoped CHW professional association with similar member services and policy focus.
• MHP Salud: National nonprofit implementing CHW/Promotor programs with training, capacity building, and direct program delivery. Comparable mission around CHW workforce development, though with direct service delivery rather than coalition/association model.
• Texas Association of Promotores/Community Health Workers: State-level CHW coalition in Texas with parallel structure—training, advocacy, and member services for Promotores/CHWs. Most directly comparable state peer in terms of mission, scope, and operating model.
• National Association of Community Health Workers: National membership organization for CHWs that the Florida Coalition is explicitly partnered with. Directly comparable mission (advancing CHW profession through education, advocacy, partnerships) and member-driven operating model, but operates at national rather than state level.
• Massachusetts Association of Community Health Workers: Statewide CHW association in Massachusetts offering training, credentialing support, and advocacy. Comparable in scope, member-driven structure, and focus on CHW workforce integration.

Emerging players

• Partners in Health: Global health organization the Florida Coalition explicitly partners with. Comparable mission of community-based health workforce strengthening, though operating at international scale with direct service delivery.
• Penn Center for Community Health Workers: University-based center focused on CHW training, research, and IMPaCT model implementation. Comparable in CHW training and evidence-building focus but academically anchored rather than coalition-based.

Regional players

• Florida Voices for Health: Florida-based health advocacy organization explicitly partnered with the Coalition. Comparable as a Florida-focused health advocacy nonprofit with overlapping policy and access-to-care mission.
