onWHARD has been hard at work sharing information about COVID-19 with community members.

In response to community requests for more accessible communication on COVID-19, our onWHARD team partnered with local organizations and the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) to develop a series of informative flyers. The flyers shared CDC and MDHHS guidelines on COVID-19 risk, symptoms, and prevention using accessible language tailored to specific audiences. Many of the flyers are available in English and Spanish.

As a collaborative dedicated to advocacy and health equity, we are proud to work to keep our communities safe and informed during this pandemic. Thank you to our partners in this initiative: MICHR, Hamilton Community Health Network, the Community Health and Social Services Center, and Centro Multicultural La Familia.

If you are interested in sharing these flyers or otherwise collaborating with onWHARD, please contact Beth Ann Hamilton at bahamil@med.umich.edu.
