Jordan Valley's community health workers help clients build healthier futures

Shameka Whitehead is working hard to create a better life for herself, her partner, their 1-year-old son and the baby growing in her belly.

It's not been easy, she said. The 22-year-old has had many challenges in recent years, including being homeless in St. Louis for a time.

But thanks in part to the Community Health Worker Program at Jordan Valley Community Health Center, Whitehead's future is looking brighter.
