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 [2], 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. [3]
