Covid has disproportionately impacted minority communities. I focus on diversity consulting in the healthcare industry from diversifying Covid vaccination sites, to empathy training for healthcare professionals, to information sharing and repairing historical mistrust in the healthcare industry.

We can all play a proactive role in improving. health outcomes in minority and under served communities.

Enclosed are some of the local resources to sign up for a covid vaccine appointment. These resources are updated frequently. A great resource to find the most update information is to contact your local officials and commissioners, follow your local officials online (especially twitter), stay abreast with updates at Publix, and continue to check in here.

0.Florida Department of Health Vaccine Locator Site

The new site will allow Floridians to find vaccine sites by county or city and contains contact information for each location.
