HOUSTON – On Friday, Houston Methodist Hospital answered questions about the vaccine rollout during a virtual town hall.
Health experts covered a range of topics but wanted to focus on helping educate communities of color about COVID-19. They have programs in the works, that include partnering with minority organizations and churches in to help spread the word about the vaccine.
“Really the goal is to bring death down and ultimately control the pandemic,” said Dr. Marc Boom, the president and CEO of Houston Methodist.
Arianne Dowdell, VP and Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, was the moderator of the town hall. While Boom and Dr. Victor Narcisse, the associate division head of hospital medicine, addressed several topics about the pandemic.
