Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution supports designating August 25 through August 29, 2025, as the third annual National Community Health Worker Awareness Week and recognizes the contributions of community health workers. It expresses the House of Representatives' support for awareness, collaboration, and the workforce but does not create new programs or change federal funding. It is a formal statement of the House's view meant to promote recognition and awareness. It does not itself have the force of law.
This is a simple House resolution that only requires passage by the House to record that chamber's position; it is not sent to the Senate or the President and does not create binding law or new funding.
This House resolution supports designating the week of August 25–29, 2025, as the third annual "National Community Health Worker Awareness Week." The text defines and describes community health workers (CHWs), catalogs their roles and contributions, and notes that CHWs are recognized with professional certification in 27 states.
The resolution recognizes CHW networks and calls for local, state, and federal collaboration to raise awareness and support CHWs’ work.
The measure is a non-binding, symbolic expression of support and does not appropriate funds or create regulatory requirements.
The resolution is a short, symbolic statement with broad appeal and minimal risk of substantive opposition, so adoption in the House is likely. However, as a simple House resolution it does not create binding law and cannot, by itself, "become law" in the statutory sense; the numeric score reflects the near certainty of House adoption but the practical reality that this text is not a vehicle for creating binding legal obligations.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative House resolution that clearly defines community health workers and formally supports designation of the specified awareness week. The resolution uses standard 'Whereas' findings and nonbinding operative clauses appropriate to symbolic recognition.
Progressives emphasize using the recognition as a springboard to secure sustainable funding, wages, and labor protections; conservative warns that language about funding and certification could lead to federal mandates or new costs.

A mainstream liberal would view this resolution positively as recognition of a frontline public-health workforce that serves underserved communities and advances health equity.
They would welcome the language that highlights CHWs’ roles, diversity, and the statement that sustainable funding supports fair wages and retention.
They would likely see the resolution as a step toward broader policy changes—such as stable financing, certification, and inclusion of CHWs in care teams—but note that the resolution itself is symbolic and does not guarantee resources.
A pragmatic centrist would view this as a low-cost, low-risk, broadly agreeable resolution that recognizes an existing public-health workforce.
They would appreciate the emphasis on evidence and ROI cited in the text and the encouragement of collaboration across government levels.
At the same time, they would note the resolution’s symbolic nature and be cautious about any implied future spending or mandates without clear cost/benefit analysis and pilot data.
A mainstream conservative would likely find this resolution broadly acceptable as a symbolic recognition of community-based helpers who can improve access to care, especially if it remains non-binding and creates no new federal spending or mandates.
They may welcome the potential for community-based approaches to reduce downstream healthcare costs, but remain cautious about language implying sustainable funding or professionalization that could invite federal regulation or mandates.
Their support would depend on assurance that this is purely an awareness measure and not a pretext for new federal programs, certifications, or unfunded mandates.
