Healthy Savannah and YMCA of Coastal Georgia Invite Community to Conversation About Lessons Learned From COVID-19

Healthy Savannah and the YMCA of Coastal Georgia are inviting the community to join the conversation about lessons learned from COVID-19 at an information and listening session on Thursday, June 9.

The event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Kingdom Life Christian Fellowship, 425 W. Montgomery Cross Rd. on Savannah’s southside. The session will gauge the current COVID climate and provide a look at the future after the pandemic, along with a platform for questions and discussion. 

“This is the third in our series of in-person listening sessions that we launched last summer to hear about the experiences, perceptions, and concerns related to access, awareness, and acceptance of the COVID vaccine. However, the session on June 9th is about the next steps in engaging the community in our work,” said Elsie Smalls, Ph.D., operations manager. “We want you and your family, friends, and co-workers to join the conversation. Anyone who can relate to the health inequities that Black and Hispanic Savannahians experience is invited to attend.”
