The Faith-Academic Initiatives for Transforming Health (FAITH) Network was established in 2016 by UAMS College of Public Health faculty to combat health inequities and disparities, particularly among vulnerable populations. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the FAITH Network, under the leadership of its director Keneshia Bryant-Moore, Ph.D., RN, and co-director Tiffany Haynes, Ph.D., has used its pre-existing network to share information, provide resources and implement health education activities.
