A Year in Review: America’s Fight Against COVID-19

As the nation comes upon the one year anniversary of the national emergency declaration announced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, please join the Alliance for Health Policy and our panel of experts for a year in review, this Friday, March 12 at 12 p.m. ET. Since this declaration on March 13, 2020, COVID-19 has taken over 500,000 American lives, borne multiple variants, and demonstrated just how fragile and fragmented America’s health care system is. It sparked conversations around workforce, preparedness, equity and disparities, and older adult care. We have also seen heroism from clinicians and everyday citizens alike, a surge in uptake of telemedicine, as well as the fastest and most wide-reaching response to a global health emergency in our history. Expert panelists will explore: · Where America stands in public health a year into the COVID-19 pandemic · How the pandemic has shaped clinical care, state preparedness, and the individual consumer experience · Promising frameworks and infrastructures to protect us from another major public health emergency
