On this edition of DiverseCITY we head to Elmhurst, Queens where we find out why hospital closures in the borough have led to Elmhurst Hospital being a hotspot for the coronavirus. We learn what’s causing the disease to disproportionately affect people of color. We look at a center that’s helping small businesses in Elmhurst weather the virus. A local organization speaks up for undocumented immigrants who are being forgotten during the health crisis. And finally, a call from the NYC Census, to be counted.
