COVID-19

In June 2020, 80% of COVID-19 cases were reported among employees in the RV industry, with 57% of those cases involving Hispanic individuals. By July 2020, Elkhart County was identified as a national “hotspot,” where 51% of COVID-19 cases were among the Hispanic population. In response to the community’s needs, NIHHC took the lead and became the first organization to operate drive-thru COVID clinics. From June 2021 to March 2023, NIHHC successfully administered over 4,000 COVID vaccinations across 33 COVID-19 clinics.

{As a Program Coordinator, it is truly incredible to witness firsthand how NIHHC creates safe spaces where our community feels comfortable receiving medical services and education that promotes their well-being. I am deeply grateful to NIHHC for giving me the opportunity to be part of these wonderful initiatives that make a meaningful difference in our community{
{The NIHHC does so much for Community with limited resources. If they had more, they would be able to purchase new equipment and provide wider preventive care choices to the community. With a growing Hispanic population, NIHHC work is very important both in short and long term.{

{The NIHHC is doing a great job on behalf of the growing Hispanic community. The NIHHC advocates for their health needs and has done a remarkable job especially in providing crucial screenings and referrals to the uninsured and underinsured with the many health fairs they have organized over the years. This has helped identify those at-risk for various health issues.{

{The NIHHC is a great organization whose main goal is to serve the underprivileged communities of Northern Indiana. The NIHHC not only offers free health screenings, but also offers educational classes where individuals can learn more about their health condition and treating or preventing diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. The NIHHC is an organization that is always seeking new ways to help those in need. For these reasons I want to thank the NIHHC for a job well done.{

{The ability to fight a pandemic requires everyone to be involved. NIHHC brought leadership to engage and solve needs for our Hispanic residents in Kosciusko County. We are grateful for what NIHHC did to help our community in the battle with COVID-19{

{NIHHC was an integral part of the COVID-19 response to the Latinx community. Without them, we would not have had the FAQs brochure in English and Spanish to distribute. We would not have provided the community with translation, interpretation, contact tracing and Spanish language call center services as efficiently without them.{
