As COVID-19 took hold in the U.S., health and human services had to transform how they deliver services practically overnight. To handle huge surges in demand and overcome obstacles associated with antiquated infrastructure, many of them are leveraging the cloud and other emerging technology to ensure business continuity.

As with any crisis, there have been painful lessons learned already and future questions that need to be answered as we move forward.

On July 1 at 10 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Eastern, join Governing for a 30-minute webinar as we talk with Casey Burns, HHS State and Local Lead for Amazon Web Services, and take a critical look at  the key strategies and solutions agencies are employing to immediately respond to the pandemic (now), how the focus will shift for HHS agencies as we continue to deal with the public health disruption (next), and the positive long-term impact it could have on HHS going forward (future).

  • What key strategies and solutions are state and local governments leveraging to effectively respond to COVID-19?
