    Community Health Worker Outreach Initiative (CHWOI)

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) established the Community Health Worker Outreach Initiative (CHWOI) in October 2020 to mobilize grassroots community outreach to ensure that our most vulnerable residents can access accurate, up-to-date information to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and reduce barriers to COVID-19 vaccination. CHWOI creates a coordinated community-centered system of care that provides targeted outreach and support to communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. CHWOI’s focus is to deliver in-language, culturally appropriate services to communities through the dissemination of health information, providing tangible supports such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and hand sanitizer, and connecting residents to COVID-19 related services (e.g., transportation, vaccination appointments, testing, etc.). Community outreach is conducted via a strategic, data-driven approach where agencies engage community members in the most highly impacted communities. Local residents are recruited and trained to implement this on-the-ground intervention. From October 2020 through February 2022, CHWOI has trained over 1,000 CHWs who have conducted over 750,000 outreaches, reaching over 3.5 million individuals and scheduling over 12,000 vaccination appointments. Over 1.8 million face coverings and 800,000 hand sanitizers have been distributed while 100,000 referrals to ancillary services have been made. County Los Angeles County, Calif.

    CalFresh Healthy Living Program-Virtual Design

    The County of Los Angeles Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services (WDACS) Area Agency on Aging (AAA) administers the CalFresh Healthy Living (CFHL) Program (known as SNAP-Ed outside of California) to Older Adults residing within the boundaries of Los Angeles County. CFHL provides evidence-based nutrition education and obesity prevention classes delivered by Registered Dietitians. These services are normally provided in a group setting at AAA congregate meal sites in low-income areas. As a result of the closure of all congregate meal sites due to COVID-19, AAA reimagined CFHL program delivery by transitioning to a virtual format. This transition allowed AAA to continue providing much-needed nutrition education services, as well as opportunities for social interaction, to a vulnerable population while remaining safe at home. This reimagined program delivery format also enabled homebound Older Adults to participate in the program for the first time. County Los Angeles County, Calif.

    Covid-19 Over-the-Counter (OTC) Partnership Program- Direct Equity Partnership Outreach Initiative

    On December 20, 2021, the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Partnership Program was created to provide testing resources to the San Bernardino County community. What started as a small scale initiative, receiving an average of 20 to 30 OTC test kit (2 tests/per kit) requests per day from partner requests, quickly transformed into a larger scale operation that doubled in demand to an average of 50-80 requests per day. The need for rapid testing reached a high when a testing surge emerged in late December 2021 through January 2022, due to an increase in Covid-19 outbreaks as a result from the Omicron variant. Through the dissemination of emails, flyers, word-of-mouth, direct outreach by Cities to their eligible stakeholders, and communication from the County’s Board of Supervisor to their constituents, many partners received information on how to request OTC antigen test kits from the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health (SBCDPH). The testing team was able to provide OTC antigen test kit resources to government agencies, healthcare providers, community-based organizations/churches/non-profits, skilled nursing facilities and private schools. Keeping in mind the need to provide equitable resources to the community, the OTC Partnership program, extended its services by taking part in direct community partnership outreach via phone calls and emails. This initiative allowed for the OTC test kit distribution to cover an extensive base of partners that may have not received information about OTC Partnership Program or had access to OTC test kits. These partners distributed OTC antigen test kits to their served communities, some of which are the more vulnerable populations in the County. County San Bernardino County, Calif.
