On a Monday morning, January 18, 2021, in College Place, Washington, United States, about a year into the coronavirus pandemic, “As far as the eye could see, there were cars. The mood was one of anticipation and gratitude,” Alareece Collie, executive pastor for the Walla Walla University (WWU) Church, said.

“I was contacted Sunday night by Rebecca Betts from Providence Population Health to ask if the church would host a COVID-19 vaccination clinic,” Collie said. “The pastors deliberated, and it was a unanimous decision that we would love to support the community by opening our facility.”
