Join us for a discussion in public health preparedness. PDPH will be hosting an event, COVID-19 Preparedness for Service Providers and Community-Based Organizations, on Monday, March 16th from 8:30AM – 12:00PM. This workshop will aim to:

• Engage community-based and other partners on topics related to COVID-19.

• Compile findings from the workshop into a summary report that includes a set of recommendations to improve PDPH response plans.
