Vulnerable residents face many barriers to COVID vaccination. These community groups are working to fill the gaps.
​The COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Allegheny County — like in most communities across the country — has been fraught with obstacles that make getting the vaccine harder for those at most risk of serious illness and death from the virus. County leadership has been pointing residents towards its Wednesday press conferences and updates on the county website to learn about vaccination. But the information leaves residents with important questions unanswered, and residents who aren’t tech savvy quickly give up when they hit a “red screen” or error message when signing up online for appointments that show up with no predictable pattern.

Pollution, aging population make Pittsburgh a Parkinson’s hotspot
Why is the disease underdiagnosed in the Black community?
The Glen Hazel senior high rise community room was near capacity in May as a lanky young man wearing sweats, a black hoodie and a backwards sun visor led the seniors in a series of exercises. 
Although exercise like this helps everyone, the presentation organized by the Parkinson’s Foundation of Western Pennsylvania was aimed at teaching the group some key facts about the fastest-growing neurological disorder in the world.

Testimonials

Lacey Gerard, UX Generalist, Research Analyst
Juliet has the ability to produce exquisite creative narrative, as I learned when I first met her, and as I continue to work with her I see her thorough and accurate approach to editing. Additionally, she has the ability to gracefully navigate the delicate waters of hierarchy to get the job done--and do that job very, very well.

Christie Lunsford, Entrepreneur
Juliet worked as my research assistant and editor while I worked on writing articles about industrial hemp for entrepreneurs. She was absolutely invaluable. Juliet not only gathered, organized and presented boat-loads of information for me, but also managed my writing workflow, stayed on top of the hemp news, suggested topics I should write about and brought a keen journalistic and scientific eye to everything I wrote. We had a lot of fun, too. For someone so smart, hard-working and meticulous, she is quite easy to work with. My point here is that you could do So. Much. Worse. She is a huge asset to any operation.

Chris Matusek, Designer

Juliet Martinez combines professional skill as a writer/editor with an amazing work ethic. She is very personable and reliable. We often need writing assignments completed on tight deadlines or on "non-standard" work hours, Juliet has always been able to meet any deadline set for her. 
Her writing is heartfelt, clear and expressive. She is able to produce amazing stories that are relevant to our readers by combining reports from the field, interviews with program coordinators and research. 

Feras Abdelrahman, Human Resources Professional
Without exception, Juliet was able to write heartfelt stories and appeals to our donors that solicited most of our annual donations. She's an incredible storyteller and know she would be an asset to any organization.

Ryan Hilliard, Youth Development Consultant
One can summarize Juliet Martinez' writing and editing expertise as consistent, versatile, and professional. I consulted her often on numerous publications and marketing products. Her well-seasoned style adapts according to context with ease, a style which has a hallmark of detailed accuracy across all her projects and productions. I was honored to work with and learn from her.
