At Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in North Portland, there was cause for celebration this week as the church hosted the first of three COVID-19 vaccine clinics.
“If you could see what I can see inside with our members going through [the clinic] just so excited, it would absolutely fill your heart with joy,” said Pastor Wendell Robinson.
Robinson and his staff at Mt. Olivet were thrilled to learn they'd be hosting the vaccine clinics through Medical Teams International (MIT). The humanitarian relief agency is partnering with the Oregon Health Authority, Providence and Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon. Together, they're focused on getting vaccine to people in BIPOC communities, the uninsured, unhoused and those facing mobility challenges.
