Several papers in the March issue
<[link removed]>
focus on lessons for public health policy and practice arising from the
COVID-19 pandemic experience in the US.
COVID-19 stressed the public health system, while also demonstrating its
importance. This cluster of articles examines the relationship between
public health and medical care, the legal framework for public health
interventions, and infrastructure needs ranging from personnel to
laboratories to financing, and more.
In one article, Margaret Bourdeaux and coauthors analyze the
"operational cleavage" between the public health and medical systems.
<[link removed]>
The authors find that the lack of cohesion between these two systems,
which each evolved separately over the past 200 years, hindered COVID-19
surveillance, transmission containment, and care of those who were
infected.
The authors also recognize how this lack of coordination contributes to
health disparities, noting "the inability to easily identify COVID-19
outbreaks uniquely penalized residents of minority communities."
Bourdeaux and coauthors argue for improvements in diagnostic capacity,
modernization of data and surveillance systems, and better referral
pathways from public health to medical care.

Judith (Judy) Heumann, an internationally recognized disability
advocate, died this past Saturday. She was 75 years old.
Heumann, who contracted polio as a small child, remained a quadriplegic
throughout her life. Her career as an activist began immediately, as she
and her family fought to enroll her in elementary school, amid concerns
that her wheelchair could cause a safety hazard during emergencies.
Heumann came into the national spotlight in 1977, when she organized a
demonstration to pressure the federal government to enforce legislation
outlawing discrimination against disabled people in federally funded
institutions.
Heumann later served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, and
held positions as an advisor, fellow, or board member for a wide array
of national and international organizations.
In a companion piece to Health Affairs' October 2022 Disability and
Health issue, Heumann was interviewed by issue advisors Lisa Iezzoni and
Javier Robles <[link removed]> about her remarkable career
and the work she thought still lay ahead to achieve equity for disabled
people.
