Dr. Carla C. Moreira, RPVI, a surgeon with Brown Surgical Associates, was recently featured in a Channel 12 story about minorities and COVID-19.
Dr. Moreira has taken steps to help spread awareness among the Cape Verdean community, including making informative videos on the virus in Creole.
Dr. Moreira says since most local and national press conferences are in English, minorities and immigrants can’t know the correct information if they don’t know what’s being said.
“We have to be very mindful in Rhode Island we are very diverse,” she added. “There are Cape Verdeans, Hispanics, Africans.”
