A 6-Month Update on Charlotte’s Response to COVID-19

Join us for a follow-up WACC Distinguished Speaker Series with Dr. David Callaway, Medical Director of Emergency Management at Atrium Health CMC-Main, Chief Medical Officer at Team Rubicon, and WACC Board of Directors member.

Pandemics threaten the fabric of the global community and represent one of the greatest challenges to any disaster response organization. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Callaway‘s work in global health security has primarily focused on trauma preparedness, terrorism, and responding to natural disasters. As an emergency medicine physician, he has also been actively involved in helping large health systems prepare and respond to emerging infectious disease threats for more than a decade.

Dr. Callaway currently serves as the Medical Director of Emergency Management for Atrium Health’s Carolina Medical Center-Main, where he has helped lead teams during the MERS, Ebola, and now COVID-19 responses. Dr. Callaway also spoke with the Council in April about Charlotte’s pandemic response, and will now be providing us with an updated perspective.

You can read Dr. Callaway‘s article How to Deploy a Volunteer Disaster Relief Army During a Pandemic, here and his full biography here.
