Which is not a term used to refer to a community health worker?

• A. Promotor
• B. Health outreach worker
• C. Clinical hospital worker
• D. Patient Navigator

Answer: (C)

Community health workers are named for roles that involve reaching into communities, sharing health information, and helping people navigate care, rather than performing clinical tasks inside a hospital setting. Terms like promotor(a) reflect outreach and education in communities, and health outreach worker similarly signals doing work outside clinical walls. A patient navigator is a role focused on helping individuals move through the healthcare system, arrange appointments, access services, and overcome barriers.

Clinical hospital worker, on the other hand, describes someone who works within a hospital performing clinical duties. That terminology points to hospital-based clinical staff rather than a community-based outreach or navigation role. So the term that does not fit as a community health worker designation is Clinical hospital worker.
