Developing COVID-19 Materials to Improve Health Agency Response
The ask: In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic stressed state and local health departments across the nation. Working tirelessly, health departments needed support to improve their responses.
The solution: During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, MDB was tasked with supporting the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH) COVID-19 response. One of our senior staff served as a pandemic advisor the Pennsylvania Secretary of Health and worked with the PADOH COVID-19 staff to improve the state’s response.
Notable outcomes: MDB provided strategic advice, infectious disease outbreak response expertise, and created and conducted a tabletop exercise for the administration’s senior staff.
