Highlighting infectious disease response efforts at California county-level health departments
California is entering this summer facing a number of simultaneous pressures:
- Preparation for the increasing likelihood of measlespresenting patients
- An influx of international travelers for the FIFA World Cup and for the busy travel season
- A measles-driven mandate to fortify infectious disease treatment capacity
- Determination of what tools best equip frontline providers to protect themselves while caring for patients
What’s impressive is how, despite these challenges, California’s public-health leaders have responded. The state’s forward-thinking leaders are rethinking not just emergency preparedness, but how the same tools we use in life-or-death situations, when every second counts to prevent the spread of disease, can also be deployed in everyday workflows.
This guide is meant to share some of the innovative solutions they’re coming up with at the county level in California and how you can take the lead in your region.
