Hood Medicine Initiative, Inc is a nonprofit public health collective made up of scientists, hackers, and other assorted geeks dedicated to protecting black and brown lives during the pandemic and beyond. Our mission is to become a trusted voice for these communities to explain the virus and walk them through the vaccine landscape. Our staff scientists create scientific communications and community-focused infographics to keep underserved populations informed about the pandemic and help make the right choices to keep their families safe. We are currently focused on providing charitable aid to communities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and mobilizing them for vaccination.
