AdventHealth gives COVID vaccines to members of historic African American church on MLK Day
Special to the Times-News
The clinic was set up to provide 30 vaccines to church members age 65 and older.
AdventHealth is the only faith-based, not-for-profit health system in Western North Carolina and is committed to reaching out to community partners, including churches, as it launches its public vaccine opportunities, officials said in a news release.
Partnering with Greater New Zion worked well for this first effort because the health system had an extremely limited number of vaccines available.
AdventHealth Hendersonville Human Resource Business Partner Sharon Campbell explained the goal of bringing this clinic to the church.
