In early April, Monterey County and a group of community organizations held a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in a school gym in the rural city of Soledad. In a promotional video produced about the event, locals shared what brought them out to get their vaccinations. “I did it to protect my kids,” said Greenfield farm worker Rosa Chavez in Spanish. “My family encouraged me to take the COVID vaccine…and I feel more secure now,” said Soledad resident Maria Ruiz.
The video highlights a Monterey County program known as Virus Integration Distribution of Aid (VIDA), which uses rural clinics and other outreach efforts to bring COVID-19-related resources to people like Chavez and Ruiz in hard-to-reach communities. The crux of the program involves community health workers (CHWs), lay people trained to deliver important public health information to the communities where they live.
On Sunday, before the team takes on the Utah Jazz, the Sacramento Kings will recognize veteran forward Harrison Barnes with the 2021 Oscar Robertson Triple-Double Award presented by Kaiser Permanente. The award, named after the NBA legend, is given to a Kings player each year who exemplifies excellence on the court and in the community. Barnes has been a vocal advocate for voter rights, addressing systemic racism and investing in Black youth and has generously embraced the critical responsibility of leading philanthropic efforts.
“I am truly honored and humbled to be named this year’s recipient of the Oscar Robertson Triple-Double Award,” said Sacramento Kings veteran forward Harrison Barnes. “As a professional athlete, I remain committed to using my platform to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities to encourage and support their dreams. I will continuously do impactful work alongside my wife and family to create lasting change.”
