More than a year into the pandemic, Detroit healthcare leaders recently gathered with Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence, representing Michigan’s 14th Congressional District, to discuss constricted access to social services.
“Black Americans were more likely to get infected, more likely to be hospitalized, and more likely to die from the coronavirus,” Congresswoman Lawrence stated. “Even with the vaccine, we are now facing another hurdle: we’re less likely to receive the shot in our arms. We have lower vaccination rates than any other group. It’s why we need a targeted approach to close these health gaps.”
Joining the virtual session were Denise Brooks-Williams, FACHE, senior vice president and CEO of North Market at Henry Ford Health System; Anthony V. King, FACHE, MHSA, CEO of The Wellness Plan Medical Centers; Audrey E. Smith, MPH, president, National Association of Health Services Executive

In hopes of encouraging COVID-19 vaccinations, Monroe County Community College, the Monroe County Health Department and ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital hosted a special panel presentation Friday regarding vaccination efforts.
The program, The Importance of Being Vaccinated - A Presentation by Health Officials took place via Zoom, as has been common for public meetings and webinars during the pandemic.
The program was scheduled amid a spike in COVID-19 cases across Michigan and Monroe County that has picked up national attention; efforts by state and local health officials to ramp up vaccinations for Michigan residents age 16 and older; and the reorganization of supplies because administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is temporarily paused.
