COVID-19 Relief Initiatives
Here are three of our new initiatives, made possible by COVID relief funding.
Diversifying Doulas
Patients R Waiting is addressing the maternal mortality crisis by providing Lancaster Black and Latinx expectant moms with doula support. We are also addressing the paucity of doulas of color with our training program.
The Network
With the mental struggles that COVID-19 presents, we are seeing an uptick in reports of emotional distress. Because of this, Patients R Waiting is connecting Black and Latino Lancastrians to FREE culturally competent mental health services.
Faith to Table
Patients R Waiting is addressing food insecurity in Lancaster, intensified by COVID-19, with our Faith to Table program. Alongside Faith Tabernacle, we are providing weekly food boxes and hot meals to the South East Lancaster community.
