ORCHWA provides a diverse range of trainings and CEU opportunities. ORCHWA will provide a certificate of completion for all training. Submitting documentation to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) for CHW certification or CHW certification renewal is the full responsibility of the attendee. Due to the high volume of training participants ORCHWA will be unable to provide documentation for CEUs after two years from the initial date of training.
For any questions related to training, CEUs, or certificates please email: workforce@orchwa.org.
