The Hope Family Clinic received a $1,000,000 project grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support a local community-based workforce initiative aimed at increasing COVID-19 vaccine access in Prestonsburg, Kentucky.
Funded under HRSA's National Organizations of State and Local Officials program, the project will assist state and local authorities in improving public health and building capacity to address public health issues like vaccine hesitancy. Specifically, the Hope Family Clinic will utilize the July 31, 2021-July 31, 2023 funding period to develop and deploy a community health worker program focused on equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in underserved areas. The grant enables the clinic to hire and train local residents to conduct vaccine education and outreach activities tailored to community needs.
