WSU hosts health plan event

Professionals will have the chance to practice their response plans for a disease outbreak at a Public Health Grand Rounds, “A One Health Approach to Disease Outbreak: A Public Health Emergency Response,” Friday, March 21, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Madison Lakes Learning and Conference Center, 581 Olive Road, in Dayton.

The format will be a facilitated tabletop exercise of a disease outbreak. Participants will analyze their response plans to collaboratively assess a complex public health investigation involving multiple agencies and jurisdictions. They will identify existing gaps in their response plans, the university said.

The event is for public health professionals, educators, emergency personnel and veterinarians.

Advance registration is required. Space is limited. A nonrefundable registration fee of $20 includes materials and lunch. The registration deadline is March 14.
