Bringing The Doctor’s Office To The Barber Shop; An LGBTQ Crisis Hotline Forms in Baltimore

Published: Jan. 27, 2021, 3:20 p.m.

We meet two Open Society Institute fellows working to make Baltimore healthier and safer in 2021. Troy Staton is leveraging the trust between barbers and clients, and creating a network of hair salons that will bring health care screenings and other resources to their neighborhoods. And attorney E.V. Yost is recruiting LGBTQ volunteers to staff a hotline and mobile team to respond when members of the queer community experience a crisis.
