Webinar: COVID-19 Testing and Contact Tracing Regional Discussions
As a follow up to our May 4th COVID-19 Testing and Tracing Webinar the National Community Action Partnership will be hosting regional discussions with Community Action Agency and Community Action Association leaders. Please join Denise Harlow, CEO to discuss the COVID-19 testing and tracing landscape in your state and community and what CAAs can do to help public health departments scale up contact tracing and resource coordination to break the chain of transmission, creating the safety and confidence we need to get local economies moving again. Working with partners to reduce and control health and economic struggles at both the community and individual levels is fundamental to the mission of Community Action.
