The GAR Foundation is bringing together local neighborhood groups and two of the area s hospital systems to get health and COVID-19 vaccination information to the members of Akron s communities of color.
The foundation on Tuesday, Jan. 26, announced it was putting up $200,000 to create the program, dubbed the Know COVID. The initiative is designed to connect area health care systems Cleveland Clinic Akron General and Summa Health with seven neighborhood groups to create pandemic- and vaccine-related information and distribute it to Akron s communities of color.
