As COVID-19 surges in California, a partnership will deploy workers to clinical settings, in coordination with local public health departments, to slow the spread.
Kaiser Permanente is committing $63 million to support California’s contact-tracing work in order to reduce the number of Californians who contract COVID-19. This support, in the form of charitable grant funding to the Public Health Institute, will create agile community health teams hired from within communities that have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 to support the critical work of local public health departments. This funding will also connect Californians in self-imposed isolation and quarantine with supportive services to assist with food, housing, child care, and other needs. Learn more here.
