Support pop up clinics in Aurora providing COVID vaccines to marginalized community members.
The Story
The Gyedi Project, headed by Kweku Hazel, MD, and Cynthia Hazel, DrPH, MSc, is a grassroots community group aimed at empowering minority and underserved people to collaborate and tackle health inequities to improve community wellbeing. “Gyedi” originates from the Akan tribe in Ghana and means “belief or confidence in oneself”.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project has focused on three primary areas: 1) educating community members about the disease, 2) creating awareness and addressing vaccination hesitancy in minority communities in the Denver Metro area, and 3) reducing barriers to vaccine access via community-based pop-up clinics.
At the March clinic 891 community members were vaccinated. 2-3 additional clinics are planned for the coming months.
