The Moss Point Covid Community Outreach Project seeks to prevent and stop the spread of COVID-19 by eliminating health disparities through awareness, testing, vaccination and contact tracing. We envision wellness and social well-being for all people in the region, including those of color residing in underserved communities and who are more likely to have serious, chronic and often preventable diseases as well as, significantly higher mortality rates. We must protect the most vulnerable. Since October 2020, we have tested 5000 people mostly Black and Brown people for covid. We have vaccinated more than 1000 people since October 2021 to present. We set up testing sites in communities around the state and region. We provided free rapid covid testing, covid vaccinations, physician consults and telemedicine access.
