COMMUNITY HEALTH VOLUNTEERS

Pandemic support at home

the problem

COVID-19 revealed that many people did not have a primary care physician to advise them.

WHAT WE’VE DONE

We worked with the Milwaukee Health Department and organized a team of 46 volunteer clinicians and retired clinicians to call COVID-positive people daily to offer support and advice as they managed their virus symptoms at home.
To help each person monitor their vital signs, we delivered thermometers and pulse oximeters right to their door. In the end, we helped over 758 people.
