Congreso Health Center COVID-19 & vaccine update | |
Congreso’s Health Center has been working tirelessly to help fight the current COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 25, 2021, Congreso has already administered 751 doses of the COVID-19 vaccination. To help support our Health Center staff, Congreso has partnered with Aveanna Healthcare and has hired 13 temporary staff for vaccination distribution. The Congreso Health Center will soon be able to vaccinate about 500 people per week with these new team members! Congreso has also been in touch with multiple partners to advocate for equitable vaccine distribution. Members of our team have been a part of focus groups, training, and virtual events to help spread awareness and enhance public knowledge on all things related to COVID-19. A special thank you to the Congreso Health Center team and partners for their support! | | | | | |
