About Stronger2
Stronger Partnership, Stronger Community: Using Health Literacy to Increase Resilience (Stronger2) is a Fairfax, VA-based community initiative to improve health literacy among local African American, African and Hispanic communities. Stronger2 is made possible through an $3.875 million award given to the Fairfax County Health Department from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH). The award is part of a $250 million two-year initiative to identify and implement best practices for improving health literacy to enhance COVID-19 vaccination and other mitigation practices among underserved populations. The Advancing Health Literacy (AHL) to Enhance Equitable Community Responses to COVID-19 initiative is part of the Biden/Harris Administration’s National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness.
