GRAND RAPIDS, MI Calling it a way to open up a conversation with the Black community in Grand Rapids, a virtual community forum brought together health leaders and community members focused on the coronavirus pandemic.
“Our goal is to have this two-way conversation, giving an opportunity for Black people in particular to ask questions, as we have seen the rates of COVID-19 impact the African American community at higher rates than others,” said Dr. Walter Brame, a member of the collaborative and moderator of the event.
