Visual Description:

This visual description uses language that reflects how the CHW described themselves during discussions with BMA staff.

A family of five people, all with dark skin, including two women, a teenage girl, a man, and a baby stand together in a tight cluster. They are outdoors on a grassy lawn across the street from a residential complex—the Cherry Hill Homes of Baltimore. The man in the back center of the group wears a white t-shirt and holds his son, who wears yellow, in his right arm. He wraps his left arm around a woman in a red tank top—his grandmother. The woman to his right—his mother—wears a white t-shirt with faded gray sleeves while the girl in the front center wears a white t-shirt and holds a red baseball cap in her left hand. They each look at the camera and smile softly. The baby, however, looks back over his right shoulder at his grandmother.
