Coalition of Faith Leaders, Community Organizations, and Governmental Organizations to Implement a COVID-19 Campaign in a Latino Neighborhood, Baltimore, Maryland, 2020-2021.

The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on low-income Latinos with limited access to health care services prompted the expansion of community-based COVID-19 services. From June 25, 2020, to May 20, 2021, we established a coalition of faith leaders, community organizations, and governmental organizations to implement a Spanish-language hotline and social media campaign that linked people to a COVID-19 testing site at a local church in a high-density Latino neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland. This retrospective analysis compared the characteristics of Latinos accessing testing in community versus health care facility-based settings.
