“Supporting Communities and Local Public Health Departments During COVID-19 and Beyond: A Roadmap for Equitable and Transformative Change, a report released by the Public Health Alliance of Southern California in July 2022, offers policy, program, and resource recommendations and best practice examples to ensure that local public health departments are adequately prepared to protect communities most vulnerable to the health and socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 as well as future public health emergencies. The report was commissioned by the California Department of Public Health’s Office of Health Equity and is informed by 68 key informant interviews from across California’s public health, community, healthcare, philanthropy, and other sectors, along with more than 100 survey responses; local, regional, and state level public health professional meetings; and a scan and review of policy and best practices.” - Public Health Alliance of Southern California
