Urban League of Metro St. Louis Still Fighting Against COVID-19

ST. LOUIS – While some may believe the pandemic is over, the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis (St. Louis, MO) are not part of that group.

The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, in partnership with the Betty Jean Kerr People’s Health Centers will still offer free COVID-19 testing and vaccinations.

From Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM through 5 PM, services will be held by appointment at two of the Betty Jean Kerr centers.

For James Clark, Vice President of the Urban League’s Division of Public Safety and Community Response, this was a no-brainer.

“We cannot let up and we are proud to continue our vaccination and testing efforts in the heart of the community with a trusted community partner like People’s Health Centers.”

While new infection numbers may be dropping, African American communities still have a higher infection rate.

“COVID-19 is still very much present in our community, especially the African American community,” said Clark.

“The pandemic may be easing but the effects are still being felt in the African American community which was disproportionately impacted. We must get shots in arms and help families gain access to other resources available to them through the Urban League.”

The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis will also be adding 20 Community Health Navigators as partners to fight against COVID-19.
