Community perspectives. More equitable care.

The Black Equity Coalition partners with the University of Pittsburgh and the UPMC Department of Family Medicine to bring community perspectives into culturally relevant and equitable Long-COVID care.

The initiative develops educational and clinical infrastructure that improves awareness and understanding of Long-COVID and expands access to care. It includes input on social determinants of health and the needs of underrepresented communities.

From purpose to practice.

Education shaped by community

Community Health Workers participating in Long-COVID training provide input on culturally relevant care and help to ensure that care models reflect the people they are intended to serve.

Access with equity at the center

The partnership trains diverse community health and engagement workers, improving access to Long-COVID care for underserved and rural populations.

Partnership makes
progress possible.
