Course Description

As with any disaster, the COVID-19 pandemic is leaving in its wake a broad range of impacts on the health of our community, and on our health and social services infrastructure. To take on the incredible challenge of long-term recovery, we must understand the scope of unmet needs, generate cross-discipline solutions, and keep our focus on improving organizational and community resilience.

In this first session of our “Series on Unmet Needs”, we will look at the impact of COVID-19 on our overall healthcare system. We will ask:

What are the possible long-range predictions of community health needs?
What capacity issues are we already seeing, and what vital services are impacted?
How can we meet current and future health needs of our clients and patients?
