Daphne Ferdinand, PhD, RN, Association of Black Cardiologists’ Community Programs Co-chair
Today, the Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) issued patient-centered frequently asked questions (FAQ Community Watch) related to COVID-19 for its community health advocates and partners.
The ABC created FAQ Community Watch to provide concrete and trustworthy information about the danger and challenges of the disease with particular attention to those with heart disease.
ABC Community Programs Committee Co-chairs Paul Underwood MD, and Daphne Ferdinand PhD, RN, will update the FAQ Community Watch as needed.
FAQ Community Watch comprises a set of three separate documents that include a community-facing version of ABC’s healthcare professional-oriented COVID-19 FAQ Watch with “COVID-19 Community Guidelines,” and “Common Myths and Misconceptions Regarding COVID-19.”
LaPrincess Brewer, MD, MPH, Mayo Clinic cardiologist and Community Programs Committee member said, “The ABC has always been a beacon for addressing health inequities directly impacting the African American community and other communities of color.
