Gloria Torres, a community health worker at La Familia who helped escort patients from the injection room to the observation room, said the partnership with UC Davis “really makes me feel we are all saving lives” in a community that is struggling. Most of the people who are receiving the vaccine at the partnership clinics are making their appointments by phone and in-person, as opposed to logging on by computer. La Familia has partnered with other organizations for COVID-19 testing and pop-up vaccinations, but the UC Davis Health connection provides a stable presence by holding a clinic every Thursday. La Familia is a well-known non-profit organization off Franklin Boulevard that provides mental health services, employment training, adult education and youth services, often to immigrants and refugees. UC Davis Health has been eager to partner with the two churches and La Familia Counseling Center because they are trusted institutions with strong community ties to their diverse neighborhoods. Senior Pastor Kenneth Reece and his wife Lisa received their COVID-19 vaccine at St. Statistics during the pandemic have made it abundantly clear that Latinos and Blacks are the racial and ethnic groups most compromised by coronavirus, with a disproportionate number of deaths and infections. She said the couple looked forward to telling church members that the vaccine is safe and effective. His wife, Lisa Reece, also got her COVID-19 shot. I think it was just a match made in heaven for us to work together,” said Senior Pastor Kenneth Reece, minutes after receiving his vaccine.
“ UC Davis Medical Center has been there for years serving our community, and St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, a venerable institution for 73 years, is ecstatic about the partnership with UC Davis Health, which converts his fellowship hall into a vaccination clinic every Wednesday. The three clinics combined will eventually immunize about 500 people each week.
