The COVID-19 Regional Response Team (RRT) is a collaboration of non-profit, public and philanthropic organizations that are creating a centralized system of response to meet the social needs of community members most adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Greater St. Louis region.
RRT recognizes that those most adversely impacted by COVID-19 have also been imperiled by longstanding racial and economic inequalities, including BIPOC (Black, indigenous and people of color), older adults, people with disabilities, medically vulnerable and underserved populations, low-income individuals, essential workers, frontline healthcare providers and others.
Advancing the health and well-being of these groups in a five-county area, which includes City of St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County in Missouri and Madison County and St. Clair County in Illinois, is the principal work of the RRT both within and beyond the COVID-19 crisis.
