Addressing Disparities in Community Health: Lessons Learned from Past Public Health Crises

COVID-19 underscored the importance of rapid public health responses to prevent or mitigate public health crises. The pandemic also demonstrated stark disparities in health outcomes. How can communities best respond to public health crisis and mitigate health disparities?  This webinar draws upon lessons from responses to past public health crises. Our distinguished panel are public health experts who have responded to past public health crises, including Hurricane Katrina, the Flint water crisis, and other national emergencies.  They will discuss practical approaches to addressing health disparities in public health crises at the community, state, and federal level. Join us for clear actions that you can implement in your own communities.
