The HealthWorks Consortium places emphasis on increasing COVID-19 vaccine confidence and building organizational capacity among communities of color. As members of the Consortium, Georgia CEAL focuses on elevating the skills and capacity of community serving organizations to provide COVID-19 education and vaccination services by offering mini-grants to communities across the state.
On December 1, 2022, eight member organizations gathered to discuss:
The benefits of creating resilient community-based organizations;
Best practices on stopping the spread of COVID-19;
The importance of COVID-19 vaccinations in our communities; and
