Overview
The residents in Fresno County have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the pandemic has only exacerbated historical disparities in health care, extreme poverty, income inequality and educational shortfalls. This project will utilize the Minority Serving Institution, Central Valley Health Policy Institute for ongoing quality improvement and evaluation to show that the project has directly impacted these communities in a positive way, buffering the impact of the pandemic through improved health literacy.
