Abstract
To combat racial/ethnic and socioeconomic health disparities associated with COVID-19 in our surrounding communities, the Cleveland Clinic Community Health & Partnership team developed a comprehensive program focused on connecting and communicating with local officials, faith-based organizations, and individual community members. Since March of 2020, our team has donated resources (e.g., personal protective equipment) to local organizations, referred thousands of community members to community or clinical resources, and partnered with federally-qualified health centers to support community COVID-19 testing. Future work will include the use of these networks to deploy the COVID-19 vaccine.
