LeadingAge, in partnership with the Black Coalition Against COVID (BCAC), is sponsoring a national town hall with the aging services community to address concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine, particularly among direct care workers. The agenda will feature Katie Sloan, senior leadership from the White House, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Historically Black Colleges and Universities’ medical schools (Meharry and Morehouse), the National Black Nurses Association, and a variety of nationally recognized experts. There will be a provider panel put together by LeadingAge that includes a medical director and other staff from member communities.  This town hall is open to anyone regardless of background or position in providing care.

This national town hall will be broadcast by blackdoctor.org through its Facebook Live and Youtube streaming services. A link to these sites will be available later this week.

Please mark your calendars for Thursday, March 4 – 4:00 – 5:30 pm PT  to take part in this important discussion.
