One standout partnership was with a local church that hosted three separate COVID vaccination events with Wellstar. The church provided Spanish interpreters at each event, ensuring that Spanish-speaking community members could understand every step of the vaccination process. This service significantly reduced the language barrier that often prevents many from accessing healthcare. The church members themselves played a key role in encouraging hesitant individuals. Their reassurance and trust in the Wellstar team allowed community members to feel more comfortable with the process. One church member, a young man, went above and beyond by going home to bring back his mother and aunt so they could also get vaccinated. This personal gesture highlights the deep trust fostered during this outreach. As a result, Wellstar successfully vaccinated 138 Spanish-speaking community members at this church alone. Through a combination of language support, transportation assistance, and a focus on reducing fear, Wellstar made a real impact in a traditionally medically underserved community. This success demonstrates the importance of culturally responsive healthcare interventions and community partnerships in achieving health equity.
