Abstract

In 2020, the Office of Minority Health (OMH) funded the establishment of the National COVID-19 Resiliency Network (NCRN) to engage priority communities that included African American, American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian, Hispanic, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander persons to aggregate culturally relevant messages, education tools, and national data sources. A mobile application and Web site supported a culturally sensitive, equity-focused communication and dissemination initiative to link communities to COVID-19 clinical, social, and behavioral health services to address health determinants.
