The Tennessee Public Health Association is pleased to join APHA in working with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s COVID-19 Public Education Campaign, We Can Do This, to educate patients about their risk for severe COVID and the availability of treatments. As part of this effort, we have a collection of new COVID-19 resources sharing U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention information.
