Piedmont Healthcare to provide vaccinations

Piedmont Healthcare, in partnership with the East Lake Foundation, will conduct a COVID-19 vaccination outreach clinic Monday in which it will vaccinate approximately 150 members of Atlanta’s East Lake community, according to a news release. Combined with 50 educators from Charles R. Drew Charter School that Piedmont vaccinated March 10, Piedmont will have helped to vaccinate a total of 200 members of the East Lake community through the partnership.

The individuals receiving vaccinations Monday meet the Georgia Department of Public Health’s criteria – they are ages 55 and older and those adults with a high-risk condition – and are affiliated with the East Lake Foundation’s partner organizations: residents of The Villages at East Lake, East Lake Golf Club, the East Lake Family YMCA, Sheltering Arms East Lake and the East Lake Foundation.

The vaccinations will take place at East Lake Golf Club. This vaccination clinic serves as great example of how East Lake Golf Club is fulfilling its mission of “Golf with a Purpose.” Individuals vaccinated Monday are scheduled to receive their second doses April 12.

On March 10, Piedmont Healthcare also extended a vaccine opportunity to all interested Charles R. Drew Charter School educators at its metro Atlanta vaccination clinic.

Piedmont Healthcare has been a partner in East Lake for several years with team members volunteering each year with the East Lake Foundation’s annual Thanksgiving and Holiday Parties, providing food, donating gift cards and participating in the “Adopt a Family” program. More recently, Dr. Jayne Morgan, Piedmont’s Clinical Director of the COVID-19 task force, joined the East Lake Foundation to participate in a COVID19 vaccination awareness event.
