Texas Health Institute’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic
|
We are aware of the ongoing, systemic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our communities. We recognize that any plan for mitigation, much less a long-term recovery plan, will require a robust "all hands on deck” approach: a coordinated, collaborative response linking and leveraging multiple systems and partners. Together, by taking into account our cumulative existing successes, investments, and capacities, we can find innovative and effective ways to adapt them for an even greater impact.
THI is committed to optimizing our position as the state’s public health institute, utilizing our expertise, capacity, network, and infrastructure to facilitate and support the development and implementation of such a coordinated response. To achieve the aforementioned objective of a systems-oriented, coordinated, collaborative approach, we are excited to announce the launch of InCommunity, an online learning community designed to connect health experts |
across sectors to share knowledge and best-practices, build capacity, and amplify impact. We have identified six topic areas designed to drive discussion focusing on our primary objective to build the capacity and knowledge infrastructure of our public health and health care partners. Guided by your dialogue, InCommunity will scale, create private networks (based on requests), and serve as a platform share resources. Join today!
Also, we are in the process of releasing our blog series to assess the impact of COVID-19 on Texas and our communities from both economic and health-equity perspectives. Watch this space for updates! That said, we are constantly looking for other ways to maximize the potential that our resources have to offer and would love to hear your ideas and/or suggestions. Send us an email at incommunity@texashealthinstitute.org |
