The COVID-19 crisis has confronted diverse communities across the country with similar challenges: treating and tracking the sick, making decisions to protect those who appear well as well as health care workers, and taking all possible steps to preserve the functioning of the local health care system.
But once the crisis has passed, what questions will local communities be asking? How might it change how we think about the challenges we were confronting, and new ones that emerge? CGR President Erika Rosenberg offers some key questions to think about.
CGR is monitoring the latest information on COVID-19 and is working with our clients and partners to respond appropriately. Our adjustments include working remotely as much as possible, using the latest technology to connect with clients and communities, and adjusting our office procedures (see our New York Forward Reopening Safety Plan).
Our staff continues its regular work on projects for the organizations we serve and is fully capable of meeting their needs remotely. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us should you have questions or concerns.
We’re in this together – and we’re here to help!
