Integrated Network for State Public Health Departments

The COVID-19 pandemic, as well as H1N1, Ebola, and other public health emergencies, demonstrate not only the devastating impact that these events posed on our communities, but also the critical importance of maintaining vigilance for the next infectious disease and public health outbreak.
