MASKED AND MIGHTY, FORMED IN 2020, IS WORKING TO REDUCE THE TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19.
Healthcare
and educator partners in Santa Barbara County have come together to
educate, unite and incentivize all of Santa Barbara County to join
Masked and Mighty to work together to reduce the transmission of
COVID-19, reopen more businesses, keep the population healthy, keep
hospital beds open, and get our kids back to in-person school.
Masked and Mighty Coalition members
include the County of Santa Barbara, Sansum Clinic, Cottage Health, the
Santa Barbara County Education Office and local school districts, Santa
Barbara City College, Westmont College, University of California, Santa
Barbara, Neighborhood Clinics, Lompoc Valley Medical Center, Lompoc
Valley Pediatric Care Center, CenCal Health, and the Central Coast
Medical Association. Together, the Masked and Mighty Coalition is
conducting a public education campaign to share key messages to reduce
the transmission of COVID-19. Masked and Mighty is geared for
audiences of all ages, in multiple languages to engage all Santa Barbara
County communities, including local people, local imagery, and locally
developed videos on why we wear masks and take precautions. The
“Mighty” piece of the campaign emphasizes safety precautions such as
social distancing, good hygiene and a myriad of other interventions
people can take in addition to the use of face coverings to keep our
community safe and healthy.New paragraph
In 2014, the Strive for 95 Coalition was formed to help improve our local immunization rates to help protect us all from vaccine preventable disease.
The mission of the Strive for 95 Coalition is to rebuild our community’s
immunity to at least 95%, offering protection from vaccine-preventable
contagious diseases to all community members — including healthy
children and those with weakened immune systems.
