Our Approach

To reach our priority communities, we use a focused community and sub-community health outreach approach, in which we identify key groups and individuals who have trusted relationships with the community. We train these key groups and individuals to be culturally responsive and serve as community resources to inform, educate, and lead health outreach efforts in their own sub-communities.

We also partner with trusted health professionals who are part of the community to advertise health programs and recruit eligible individuals for vaccination and other health services. These outreach efforts contribute to addressing mistrust, vaccine hesitancy and apathy, and access-related barriers in underserved communities.  

What Next?

Due to the higher rates of comorbidities among underserved communities, we aim to improve health literacy and tackle the predominant health issues that existed before COVID-19, including hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. We also aim to support the communities' collective journey to achieve better health through cardiovascular disease prevention, behavior health promotion including healthy nutrition, physical activity, and substance use prevention.
