for the Advancement of Community Care
WELCOME
It is the mission of the Brancati Center to improve the health of communities by developing new models of healthcare in partnership with community organizations. Our Center is organized into three well-integrated units: Community Partnership, Education, and Research. Our focus is on providing access to evidence-based programs through partnerships with the community where people live, as well as to demonstrate outcomes.
Dear Neighbors,
As the United States experienced a fourth wave of COVID-19, images of hospitals at capacity in several states reminded us that we all need to work together to protect ourselves, our families and the most vulnerable in our communities against the virus. Vaccination, masking, physical distancing and ventilation remain key tools in our fight.
There has been a lot of new information. We are learning more about the virus and variants, about vaccine boosters and 3rd doses. In this issue, we focus on brief updates. We know the information changes quickly and we encourage you to reach out to us if we can help answer questions or find answers to the questions you have.
