Contribution In Covid-19 | Releford Foot And Ankle Institute


The COVID-19 epidemic is the most defining event in our lifetime, in which we work, live, love, and worship. Words such as "social distinction" and "isolation" begin to emerge from every angle, forcing us to re-evaluate our priorities and become familiar with the meaning and value of solitude.

The Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program at Inglewood is shifting gears, from creating aftershave to hand sanitizer.

The founder, Dr. Bill Releford, said the program's mission is to combat heart disease in African American communities. Still, they have seen a different need due to the recent coronavirus epidemic.

"I decided to resume my plan to include it as a different problem that African Americans may suffer inconsistently," Releford said.

Dr. Bill Releford said they have begun remodeling the bump blocker and aftershave that they regularly make to hand sanitizer and pass it on to the community. With the requirements of wearing masks in public, they have started donating them to those as well.

"We invested more than 750 face masks to our superiors at the Inglewood Senior Citizens Center," said Releford. "And we gave over 200 sanitizers to the workers who had to distribute lunch to those seniors."

"Not only does the government have a role, but organizations like the Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program, we can play our part in joining hands and see if we can mitigate the impact of this epidemic on vulnerable populations," Releford said.
