MEDIA ADVISORY: HELP Committee to Hold Hearing on Reauthorizing the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act and Preparing for the Next Public Health Emergency
Press Release
Issues: Health and Health Care
"We live in a time of unprecedented crises. In the past few years alone, we faced an unimaginable global pandemic that took millions of innocent lives, threatened economic meltdown, and pushed deeply systemic issues to a breaking point for the most vulnerable and underserved among us -- all with the disastrous effects of climate change growing more urgent and severe every day. If we have learned anything from this terrible pandemic it is that we must do everything in our power to better prepare for future public health emergencies so we can keep our communities safe. With the reauthorization of this essential legislation, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to do just that."
