The Golden Bell-Award Winning Valley High School Health TECH Academy Community Health Worker Training Program
Valley High School's Health TECH (Tomorrow's Employees Careers in Health) is a three-year California Partnership Academy on campus. In 2013, the Health TECH Academy launched California's first high school-based community health worker (CHW) training program. The Community Health Worker program offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, advanced technology, student workplace experience, and direct contact with local health agencies. Health TECH students can earn their CHW certificate and black scrub top by passing Fundamentals of Public Health, Applied Public Health, and Behavioral Health Theory and Practicum with a "C" or better. Health TECH students must also pass a comprehensive exam and complete 50 hours of fieldwork.
These elements create a school-to-work educational experience for all students interested in health-related occupations. The Health TECH program ensures students receive a solid foundation in workplace literacy and participate in specialized performance-based curricula, preparing them to compete successfully in tomorrow's technological society.
We are proud to announce the launch of our new Health-TECH Community Health Center. This innovative center aims to provide patients with essential services in a seamless and accessible manner. Our center prioritizes holistic well-being, offering screening and counseling services that help lay the foundation for a healthier life. Despite being a smaller setting, we strive to significantly impact health outcomes by providing personalized care and community connection to every patient. We aim to ensure that each patient receives the attention and support they need to lead a healthier life.
