Project Finish Line has been an important element of our clinic.
"Thanks to our partnership with Project Finish Line, we can continue to positively impact the Greater Milwaukee Community with COVID-19 testing, vaccinations, and traveling door-to-door to provide home and community-based healthcare services." - Ericka Sinclair MS, MPH, Founder and CEO of Health Connections, Inc. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sostento Press Release, June 7, 2021
Sostento, a nonprofit organization supporting frontline health workers in underserved communities across the United States, announced this week the creation of a new initiative called Project Finish Line. The goal of the Project is to vaccinate one million individuals whose access to traditional health care is limited by cultural, linguistic, social, and economic factors.
Traditional safety net providers such as Federally Qualified Health Centers cannot support the needs of every individual who wants or needs a vaccine. Critically, those individuals are caught by another safety net provider known as Free and Charitable Clinics. But these clinics, which rely on donations and volunteers, suffer from underfunding and a decrease in volunteer support since the beginning of the pandemic.
To ensure their needs are met, Sostento has brought together 100 of these Free and Charitable Clinics located in low-vaccination rate areas across 15 different states into a network initiative called Project Finish Line that will mobilize resources and share best practices among the group.
Project Finish Line has been an important element of our clinic, Health Connections, Inc.'s, strategy. They have assisted us with a COVID-19 Toolkit, technology assistance, connections to other local COVID-19 clinics, transportation solutions, and information sharing amongst other clinics around the country.
