Equity and the Social Determinants of Health in the Time of COVID-19
Patrice Mascolo and Molly Rosenthal from Healthy Mendocino gave a presentation for Avenues to Wellness on June 22, 2021
The impacts of COVID-19 have disproportionately affected communities of color in regions throughout the country due to underlying inequities in access to healthcare, communications, and the Social Determinants of Health.
In this presentation, Healthy Mendocino discusses the health priorities in Mendocino County as identified in the last Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and how community health issues have been impacted by COVID-19. New data for 2020 is highlighted and compared to prior years to help measure the impacts of COVID-19 and how it has created inequities in the Social Determinants of Health and disparities in certain populations and geographic areas.

Community Connection & Resilience
Wednesday July 1st 12PM-1:30PM
As we combat the physical effects of COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are simultaneously confronted with deep feelings of stress, fear and anxiety. We are facing profound loss, economic uncertainty, social isolation, and worry for the health of those we love. Mental health issues are among the most important health issues facing our community, as reported by the 2019 Community Health Survey. In this conversation, we will explore ways in which Mendocino County residents and organizations have come together during COVID to help one another stay connected, how we can be more attuned to the struggles of our neighbors in the future and ways in which we can cultivate a community of support and mental and emotional resilience.
