Nevada County Public Health Department has a group of health professionals contacting some of the most vulnerable in the area to vaccinate them against the coronavirus.
The REACH (Resources for Equity and Access in Community Health) team, comprised of a crew of dedicated nurses making house calls, was launched this spring. They help those who lack their own vehicles or internet access, or do not speak fluent English, can no longer drive, are too frail to travel alone or live in remote residences away from public transit.
People in those circumstances still need protection against COVID-19, said Ryan Gruver, the county’s Health and Human Services director. Gruver praised the success of the REACH team vaccinating independent living facility residents of Hilltop Commons and Bret Harte Retirement Inn, as well as some smaller retirement homes.
