“We know that extreme heat can impact human health and wellbeing in a variety of ways, and that these impacts are largely preventable,” said Jo Kay Ghosh, PhD, MPH, director of research and evaluation at Heluna Health and the study’s senior author. Researchers from Heluna Health found that significant disparities in preparedness for extreme heat events exist among households in the Western U.S. in our latest data brief. The survey found that nearly two-thirds of adults living in the Western U.S. (62%) reported experiencing an extreme heat event since 2020. Certain demographic groups, including females, non-Hispanic whites and individuals aged 65 years or older, were more likely to report experiencing extreme heat.

Two Heluna Health employees working in the Center for Preparedness and Response and Center for Infectious Disease at the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) received an award in May for their exceptional support of public health efforts. The annual Public Health Acknowledging My Efforts (PHAME) award honors outstanding contributions that advance the mission and goals of CDPH in serving the community. Before the pandemic, the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) team was quite small. However, with the announcement of significant COVID-19 funding, it became clear that a dedicated team within CDPH was necessary to manage these grants and ensure that both state and local health department needs were met. Initially, the funding was nearly $500 million but quickly grew to over $4 billion to support the COVID-19 response. The ELC management team collaborated with various groups, including the Testing Task Force, the COVID Control Branch, the COVID laboratory, and the Therapeutics team, to effectively respond to the pandemic. #covid19 #epidemiology #publichealth
