Health Systems’ Partnerships with Public Health for Disaster Response Community collaboration offers unique opportunities
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged health care delivery systems
world-wide by straining scarce resources, such as critical care
therapeutics, hospital beds and clinical staff, necessitating
drastic public health measures. Cross-institutional
collaborations within communities offer unique opportunities to
prevent or mitigate health disparities in resource utilization
and access to care. In this session, San Francisco Department of
Public Health will present on their collaboration with health
systems that allowed them to do just that.
Presenters:
Tiffany Riviera, Deputy Director,
PHEPR, San Francisco Department of Public Health
Mary Mercer, MD, Clinical Health
Systems
Lukejohn Day, MD, Chief Medical
Officer, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital
