Applications Open: COVID-19 Community Education Initiative to Advance Health Equity Through Education and Outreach
Deadline for applications – Wednesday, September 1, 2021, 5 p.m.
Awards will be made to five community-based organizations that promote outreach and address COVID-19 related educational needs in the community. A maximum of $5,000 will be awarded to each organization to build their capacity to reach the Black and Latinx communities with timely, relevant, and trustworthy information, along with other resources that may reduce COVID-19 disparities.
Pixel At-Home COVID Tests Available
With the increase we are experiencing in COVID-19 infections due to the Delta variant, there is a growing need for more testing. NC DHHS has extended the opportunity for organizations to receive batches of the Pixel At-Home COVID tests. This program requires tracking the number of kits received and distributed to the community using the inventory log.
Latino Health Roundtable
This will be the first part of a series dedicated to Poverty as a Social Driver of Health (SDOH). Poverty is one of the health priorities of the 2020 Durham County Community Health Assessment.
