Key Initiative: Good Health Wins San Antonio Coalition

In alignment with the CDC’s Partnering for Vaccine Equity (P4VE) program, BCS supports community health through grassroots outreach, with a focus on addressing vaccine hesitancy, nutrition, and civic engagement.

Execution Strategies

1. Administration and Alignment:
   • Manage and document programs in compliance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Metropolitan Health District - City of San Antonio, Texas Health and Human Services and other local guidelines.
   • Align community events with immunization schedules for maximum impact.
2. Community Collaboration:
   • Partner with trusted messengers and community volunteers who serve hard-to-reach populations.
   • Establish mobile, sensory-sensitive vaccine sites for accessible healthcare delivery.
3. Engagement and Advocacy:
   • Promote COVID-19 vaccination and health equity via targeted campaigns.
   • Utilize incentives (e.g., grocery gift cards) and resources (e.g., transportation assistance) to overcome barriers.
4. Sustainable Practices:
   • Implement evidence-based solutions, including drive-thru clinics, in-home vaccination, and outreach.

Community Impact Example(s):  BCS partnered with community based organizations (CBOs) to support the disability community through:

• Health Screenings: Blood pressure, glucose monitoring, immunization education.
• Nutrition and Food Security: Collaboration with the San Antonio Food Bank.
• Civic Engagement: Voter registration services to promote social justice.

This collaboration integrated the COVID-19 protection framework and enhanced access to health equity resources, benefiting individuals and families through community partnerships and trusted relationships.

Health Equity Platform Goals:

1. Raise Immunization Rates: Combat vaccine misinformation and reduce preventable diseases.
2. Enhance Health Equity: Expand access to vaccines, nutrition, and civic resources for disproportionately affected populations.
3. Empower Marginalized Communities: Sustain advocacy through continuous education, outreach, and collaboration.
