A few months into the pandemic, the medical community had gathered necessary data to show that face masks, physical distancing and handwashing were most effective in preventing transmission. We also quickly saw the pandemic exacerbate societal inequities that disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minority and other vulnerable populations.
With this knowledge, our team at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center partnered with community organizations, businesses and government to tackle the public health crisis.
