FIRST OF TWO COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS HIRED

UWGC’s Middletown Area has partnered with Ohio State University’s Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) team and the Center for Closing the Health Gap to hire the first of two Community Health Workers.

Joslynn Pretty, who started May 24, primarily will work with specific populations in the community. She also will work with Center for Cancer Health Equity staff, community organizations and groups, and other agencies to increase health knowledge, especially around COVID-19 testing, contact tracing and prevention. Her role will include providing resources to remove barriers and improve access to COVID-19 testing and vaccination.

Pretty has a master’s degree in health informatics from Walden University.
