The Coachella Valley Equity Collaborative recently reached a milestone in its campaign to empower traditionally underserved residents to protect themselves and their families during the coronavirus pandemic: more than 10,000 vaccine doses given.

Established in fall 2020 by the Desert Healthcare District and Foundation, the collaborative created and implemented an equitable response to COVID-19. Working with the campaign theme, "The Power Is in Your Hands," the collaborative partners include Alianza Coachella Valley, El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center, Galilee Center, Lideres Campesinas, Pueblo Unido CDC, TODEC Legal Center, Vision y Compromiso, and Youth Leadership Institute.
