Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council Promotores de Salud Our goal is to support efforts to increase influenza and COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake for

The Back of the Yards neighborhood is a predominately Latinx and African American community. Both demographic groups share a track record of struggling with the prevention of chronic illnesses. As of late, both parties have also shown a hesitancy in receiving the COVID 19 vaccine. We are certain this disconnect is in part responsible for disparities in our community’s health. We believe we can fulfill the dire need of facilitating communication between healthcare professionals and our community members. We want to provide our residents answers and support the spread of knowledge in regards to chronic diseases and their prevention methods, basic nutrition education, the promotion of incorporating an active lifestyle, and as a priority provide a strong base of education revolving around COVID 19, in efforts to increase vaccination confidence. We trust in our capabilities, to take the information presented by the healthcare professionals and present it to the members of our community so they may easily grasp the concepts and effectively incorporate these practices into their daily lives. We also understand the leverage we have of reaching our community by bilingual means successfully and look to use this to our advantage.
