Elaine Batchlor, MD, MPH, CEO, MLK Community Healthcare
During the winter of 2020, MLK Community Healthcare (MLKCH) had the highest percentage of hospitalized COVID patients within a 15-mile radius. MLKCH serves the predominantly Hispanic (70%) and African American (22%) communities of South LA, one of the hardest-hit in the nation. MLKCH’s service area became a tragic illustration of health disparities during the pandemic—and COVID’s disproportionate impact on minority communities.
MLK Community Healthcare was searching for creative solutions to remotely assess patients reporting COVID symptoms, expand telehealth services, answer COVID health-related questions and screen community members for COVID vaccine eligibility.
