On May 11th the COVID-19 public health emergency ends, leaving many community-based organizations and workforces wondering how this transition will impact their local community. With changes to COVID-19 protections, as well as public health emergency provisions such as food, telehealth and Medicaid coverage, there is an opportunity for misinformation to spread, worsening communication gaps around the critical information needed during this time. Local trusted messengers need to be equipped with the latest information and culturally competent resources to keep families and community members healthy and safe in this next phase of the pandemic.

In this 90-minute interactive webinar local experts answered the pressing questions, addressed the biggest concerns, and shared the immediate, most important impacts of the public health emergency ending, including: 

  • Differentiating between the national emergency ending and the public health emergency ending;
  • Understanding how federal information has cascaded down to state and local public health agencies;
  • Equity-driven and community-centric long term public health safety plans; and
  • Potential roadblocks and upcoming opportunities to continue your COVID-19 response.
