#SaludTues Tweetchat 9/29: How a Community-Based Workforce Advances Health Equity

Share On Social!

Latinos are disproportionately impacted by the health and economic impacts of COVID-19.

To reduce inequities, local and state leaders need to ensure Latinos and others from highly impacted communities are embedded in response and recovery.

That’s where a community-based workforce comes in.

During a pandemic, community-based workforce principles can help cities expand contact tracing and identify risk; support psychological, social, and primary care services; and mitigate the impact of unemployment.
