COVID-19 INFO HUB

The Black church is the oldest and most trusted institution in the Black Community.

On March 2, 2021, at 3:30 PM, we welcomed Thalia Sirjue from the NJ Department of Health to talk to us about COVID -19 testing, tracing, and the COVID Alert NJ app. This is the first of a series of events for the month of March that commemorates Women's History Month. The audio recording of the webinar is available above.

On Tuesday, March 9 at 1:00 PM we welcomed Dr. Shobha Swaminathan of Rutgers University and University Hospital to bring to us much-needed information about vaccine trials, COVID-19 vaccinations, and the barriers and possibilities they both present to us.

Then on Thursday, March 11 at 7:30 PM our very own Dr. Amey Victoria Adkins-Jones and Zeena Hazuri from the Latino Commission on AIDS were in conversation talking about Re-Imagining Healthcare Access for Black Women and Girls.
