Case Study
In response to the pandemic the Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health Great Lakes Hub coordinated with community members to identify contents to be collected and distributed in the form of a care box to members in the local Indigenous community. These boxes contained items intended to connect to cultural resilience for adults and children, such as sage, essential oil, written wisdom from elders, cultural food and recipes, and children’s storybooks. Boxes also included items like face masks, soaps, and/or hand sanitizer.

Case Study
This case study described a partnership to rapidly deliver food to isolated and quarantined individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in response to a COVID-19 surge in June 2020. An existing community-based participatory research group in Northwest Arkansas utilized diverse partnerships that were possible due to existing relationships established before the pandemic and leveraged to rapidly deploy the food delivery program. This case study demonstrates how this program can serve as a model for other organizations doing similar work.

Case Study
This case study outlines how the Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) in Illinois partnered with community organizers on worker and immigrant rights to create a multisectoral collaborative to address root causes of health inequity called the Collaborative for Health Equity. This collaborative explicitly works to address structural racism and health inequities. It has built relationships with local social justice organizations that have helped guide CCDPH to center health equity in its strategic plans.
