In March 2023, Health Affairs will publish a cluster of research papers focused on lessons for public health policy and practice arising from the COVID-19 pandemic experience in the United States. COVID-19 stressed the public health system while also demonstrating its importance.

This collection of articles explores trends in the public health workforce during the pandemic, ways to improve coordination between public health and medical care systems, strategies for mitigating community spread of COVID-19 at the local level, and recommendations for modernizing emergency health powers laws, US laboratory systems, and public health financial data.

You are invited to join us on March 8 for a Health Affairs virtual issue briefing, where Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil hosts authors for a discussion of their research and the broad lessons from COVID-19 for the future of public health. Confirmed speakers include:
