Our History

Our initial goal began to reduce the health inequities experienced by people of color, demonstrate recognition of their presence in our community and offer support that is needed to quarantine and survive COVID-19. For this we worked with UF’s Equal Access Clinic Network and UF MedLife by providing a hotline for Spanish speakers to call with questions about COVID, find testing, medical monitoring and vaccines.

Our common vision is to serve Spanish-speaking Latinx community members in North Central Florida who are experiencing any of the following:
COVID-19 symptoms
have tested positive
been in close contact with a person experiencing COVID-19
desires access to COVID-19 vaccinations

Our goal is to reduce the health inequities experienced by people of color, demonstrate recognition of their presence in our community and offer support that is needed to quarantine and survive COVID-19.

VIVIR responds to:

disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on communities of color
a void of linkage to care options for limited English proficient Spanish-speakers
provide information in Spanish to limited English proficient speakers
the limited dissemination of information on legal rights around COVID-19 as related to housing, labor and other rights
the responsibility to make all residents seen and included in a unified response to COVID-19
