Congratulations Emory Collaborative Community Outreach and Health Disparities!
Congratulations to The Emory Collaborative Community Outreach and Health Disparities group, co-chaired by Georgia Gear’s Project Director Ted Johnson, on being the recipient of the Woodruff Health Sciences Center (WHSC) MLK Community Service Award. The Emory Collaborative Community Outreach and Health Disparities group was developed in response to the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx communities. Tapping leaders and interested individuals from across WHSC and the Atlanta community, the group worked on targeted messaging for these communities, educational forums on COVID-19, data analytics to target hotspots and blind spots, and finally shared learning through research collaboratives on health disparities in vulnerable populations and social determinants of health.
