This article describes a stakeholder approach for implementing, evaluating, and sharing lessons learned from COVID-19 Conversations, a program developed and delivered virtually by researchers and academics at Northwell Health in Manhasset, NY. The program’s goal was to address the mental, physical, and psychosocial needs of community members. The program used Zoom/ Facebook Live to deliver 15- interactive discussions on topics ranging from health education on COVID-19 and mental health to resources for unmet social needs. Priority areas for discussion were based on responses from surveys distributed through their community networks. A total of 151 individuals completed the survey and identified priority areas for discussion. This interprofessional, cross-sector collaboration highlights the importance of public health interventions to reduce the spread of COVID-19 through easy online access and culturally relevant community education and outreach.
