PMGR: A Community’s Response to a Pandemic: Wyandotte County’s Health Equity Taskforce

Wyandotte County experienced the state of Kansas' first death. Its residents, over half of whom are minorities, have been impacted by COVID-19 at disproportionally high rates. In response to these data, community members representing the diversity of the County's neighborhoods partnered with the Unified Government of Wyandotte Health Department to launch a wide array of COVID-19 services despite a small budget and public health infrastructure. Billed as the Health Equity Task Force (HETF), this group made up of grassroots and community activists, as well as civic and organizational leaders and the faith community, has given a voice in the planning and delivery of COVID-19 related services in Wyandotte since April 2020. The speakers at this grand rounds will present their work, achievements, and next steps. For continuing education (CE) credits, visit https://tceols.cdc.gov/Course/Detail2.... CE expires 10/5/2023.
