We’re preparing for the next threat … with lessons from the last one. But when it comes to COVID, what have we really learned? Join our hosts Justin Beck, Catherine Delcin and Deepti Pahwa, as they speak with Dr. Saskia Popescu, an infectious disease epidemiologist and senior infection preventionist at the University of Arizona. Together, they’ll discuss how health care systems can do to boost disease response, and how we can keep from being crippled by the next COVID – whatever that is. Will the best solutions be low-cost, point-of-care-testing? Eliminating data silos? Stay tuned, and stay informed. As always, we’ll talk about how to help our local health departments – and encourage innovation and technology integration – all while remaining empathetic, plus keeping an eye toward health equity for all.
