PHOENIX — Healthcare workers at Mountain Park Health Center (MPHC) across Arizona know the people living in the communities they serve by name.
“We are in the community, we have the relationships with the patients," said Director of Equity, Diversity and Engagement at MPHC Janey Pearl Starks. "There is already trust there. We know some people may still have hesitancy with the vaccine. It's much different if someone you know and trust and has been talking to you for years and now they recommend the vaccine."
