It’s officially the season of giving, and the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center’s Hopkins Community Connection team helped those in need by providing Thanksgiving turkeys to patients and their families. 🦃
Hopkins Community Connection is a social needs navigation program that started at the Harriet Lane Clinic nearly 20 years ago. It now provides services at five additional pediatric and adult care practices. Hopkins undergraduates, community health workers and program staff support families during and after clinic visits by connecting them with basic resources to stay healthy including food, employment, childcare and more.
This year, team members and volunteers distributed 76 turkeys across Johns Hopkins Medicine-affiliated primary care clinics, including at the Harriet Lane Clinic, the Baltimore Medical System clinic at Yard 56, the Bayview Comprehensive Care Practice, the JHOC General Internal Medicine Clinic and East Baltimore Medical Center.
Volunteers helped give out the turkeys and side dishes to ensure families can have a full Thanksgiving dinner. Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️
