To continue moving forward with developing the CHW workforce across South Dakota, the CHWSD is working to transition to a non-profit, 501c3 organization by June 1, 2025, to continue to grow, develop, and sustain the workforce for years to come. As the CHWSD continues to partner and work closely with the DOH, but as a non-profit, the CHWSD can further advocate for the workforce and apply for additional funding opportunities to further our mission.
