On March 13, 2021, Bethany Community Ministries hosted a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the Bethany Center in Homewood in partnership with UPMC. The goal was to vaccinate 500 people in the community; at the end of the day, 600 adults received a shot. The relationships that BCM has in our community and the trust that we've built allows us to convene people and remove barriers to receiving resources from UPMC.

This is electric. Folks are lining up to have this vaccination and we actually had a pre-registration that overflowed. - Rebecca Guillory Gilmer (KDKA)
