“…in the Flint water crisis several years ago, our PEHSU, for short, was there to provide support to the community and help answer medical questions. It’s not only there for emergencies, however. It’s there for community support. So we’re finding that this resource, having trusted health professionals in the communities is really critical to building trust with people and providing information that’s accurate and advice generally.”
