COVID-19 Community Response: Emerging Themes Across Sentinel Communities

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Sentinel Communities project follows the experiences of 29 diverse communities and their efforts to promote health and well-being. A COVID-19 Synthesis Report, released in July 2021, summarizes the yearlong path that nine of these communities traveled with respect to COVID-19 vaccination, health and well-being, economic recovery, equitable housing, and in-person schooling. It also notes the gaps that must still be addressed to achieve truly equitable community recovery.
