Conozca al Dr. Alexander, uno de nuestros doctores aquí en SCFHC. El Dr. Alexander nació y se crió en el sur de Los Ángeles. Su misión en la vida es servir a Di...os, retribuir y responder a su llamado espiritual. Servir a la comunidad de South Central es el llamado del Dr. Alexander, y estamos felices de que esté aquí compartiendo su don con nosotros. El 5 de enero, el Dr. Alexander recibió su primera dosis de la vacuna de COVID-19 junto con otros miembros del personal de SCFHC. Al Dr. Alexander le gustaría que todos tomemos en serio el COVID-19. Quiere que la comunidad sepa que la batalla con COVID-19 aún no ha terminado, pero hemos ganado algunas armas nuevas con esta vacuna. Es fundamental que las personas de color sigan este consejo. En el condado de Los Ángeles, somos testigos de primera mano de cómo el COVID-19 afecta de manera desproporcionada a las personas Negras y los Latinos en comunidades desatendidas. El número de casos y muertes por COVID-19 continuará aumentando en las próximas semanas, pero hay mejores días en el horizonte. Siempre sepa que las puertas de SCFHC están abiertas para usted sin importar su edad, raza, estado de documentos o empleo. * Meet Dr. Alexander, one of our providers here at SCFHC. Dr. Alexander was born and raised in South LA. His mission in life is to serve God, give back and respond to his spiritual calling. Serving the South Central community is Dr. Alexander's calling, and we are happy that he is here sharing his gift with us. On January 5th Dr. Alexander received his first COVID-19 dose along with other SCFHC Staff. Dr. Alexander would like all of us to take COVID-19 seriously. He wants the community to know that the battle with COVID-19 is not quite over, but we have gained some new weapons with this vaccine. It is essential for people of color to follow this advice. In LA County, we are witnessing firsthand how COVID-19 disproportionately affects black & brown people in underserved communities. The number of COVID-19 cases and deaths will continue to rise in the upcoming weeks, but better days are on the horizon. Always know that SCFHC doors are open to you no matter your age, race, document status,or employment.

Many of us are experiencing stay at home fatigue, but now is not the time to let our guard down. Here's some friendly advice on how to cope, courtesy of California Department of Public Health. #COVID19 #StopTheSurge
