A COVID Q&A For Parents - FREE Online

The Grand Rapids African American Health Institute and the Grand Rapids Public Schools are working together to ensure every family feels informed about COVID-19 vaccinations for our youth. As we have lived through this pandemic together, we all know that there is a lot of information out there that can be overwhelming for parents/guardians. We have developed a panel of clinicians from our community that will be able to help answer any of your questions related to COVID-19 vaccinations. The panel will come together virtually on October 26th 09:30-10:30 A.M. and 6-7 P.M. We hope this panel helps you make an informed decision.

In the fight for health equity, every penny counts.

African Americans experience significant disparities with chronic conditions, access to care, preventive screenings, and mental health.

At GRAAHI, we believe all people should have equal access to healthcare regardless of race.
