We wish to acknowledge and thank the faculty who have taught in the CHW Certificate Program and collaborated with students and community-based organizations to develop the curriculum that informs this book. These faculty include Alma Avila, Carol Badran, Tim Berthold, Carol Chao-Herring, Dayo Diggs, Amie Fishman, Susana Hennessy-Lavery, Tandy Iles, Vicki Legion, Melissa Jones, Obiel Leyva, Joani Marinoff, Ida McCray, Marcellina Ogbu, Abby Rincn, Janey Skinner, Darouny Somsanith, Jill Tregor, Darlene Weide, and Donna Willmott.

We are deeply grateful to all the students and CHWs who contributed to the book through their interviews, photographs, and participation in educational videos, including Veronica Aburto, Juanita Alvarado, Jill Armour, Kathleen Banks, Ramona Benson, John Boler, Anthony Brooks, Rene Celiz, Esther Chavez, Andrew Ciscel, Phuong An Doan-Billings, Tomasa Bulux, Cameron Dunkley, Ariann Harrison, Darnell Farr, Tracy Reed Foster, Durrell Fox, Thomas Ganger, Lee Jackson, Sandra Johnson, Yudith Larez, Rose Letulle, Michael Levato, Phyllis Lui, Sergio Matos, Jermila McCoy, Richard Medina, Francis Julian Montgomery, Alvaro Morales, David Pheng, Kent Rodriguez, Romelia Rodriguez, LaTonya Rogers, Ron Sanders, Martha Shearer, Somnang Sin, Jerry Smart, Letida Sot, Charlie Starr, Jason Stanford, Adrieann Lo, Lexon Lo, Manith Thaing, Michelle Vail, Alma Vasquez, and Emory Wilson.

The educational videos linked throughout the book were codirected by Tim Berthold and Jill Tregor. Matt Luotto and Amy Hill served as videographers. The digital stories featured in this Introduction and were produced by the Center for Digital Storytelling (with the leadership of Amy Hill and Matt Luotto). Several City College staff and faculty were instrumental to the development of the videos including Carol Cheng, Amie Fishman, Janey Skinner, and Emily Marinelli.

Ernest Kirkwood, Matt Luotto, Sam Wolson, and Len Finocchio took photographs for the second edition of this textbook along with graduates of the CHW Program: Juanita Alvarado, Tracy Reed Foster, and Ron Sanders. Some photos were taken for the first edition by Ramona Benson, Phuong An Doan Billings, Lee Jackson, Alvaro Morales, and Cindy Tsai.

Pamela DeCarlo, Amie Fishman, Mike Kometani, and Emily Marinelli supported the development of the Foundations textbook by reviewing early drafts of chapters, conducting research, verifying citations, securing permissions, coordinating photo shoots, selecting photographs, and managing photo and video releases. Maureen Forys and the team at Happenstance Type-O-Rama created the design for the second edition of the book (and the companion Training Guide). Jill Tregor, Tim Berthold, and Mickey Ellinger conducted qualitative interviews with CHWs to develop the quotes that are included throughout the book. We also acknowledge the leadership and support provided by several CCSF colleagues: Carol Cheng, administrative coordinator of the Health Education Department; Terry Hall, dean of the School of Health and Physical Education; and Kirstin Hershbell-Charles, dean of Grants & Resource Development. We would like to thank proposal reviewers Juliana Anastasoff, Karen Winkler, Michele Montecalvo, and Kaysie Schmidt, who provided valuable feedback on the original book proposal.

This book would not have been possible without the leadership of Mary Beth Love and Vicki Legion. Mary Beth is the chair of the Health Education Department at San Francisco State University (SFSU) and founder of Community Health Works, a unique and enduring partnership between the Health Education Departments at SFSU and City College of San Francisco (CCSF) (www.communityhealthworks.org). This partnership established the CHW Certificate Program at CCSF. Vicki Legion served as the first coordinator and created the model CHW program that serves as the basis for this book.

The development of the second edition and all educational videos was made possible through a grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovations (CMMI). This grant was a partnership with the national Transitions Clinic Network (TCN), an expanding group of clinics across the United States and in Puerto Rico that provide primary health care to patients coming home from prison (
