The Community Health Aide Program (CHAP) includes three (3) different health aide provider types, each including a tiered level practice. Health aides do not practice independently but under the direct/indirect supervision of a licensed clinician. These health aides are seen as extenders of their supervising clinician to provide direct patient care. Because health aides extend the provider, they expand the system of care and increase access to care and have the ability to mobilize healthcare.
