The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted healthcare systems globally. In the US, the financial strain of the pandemic has increased medical debt by over 25% according to one report. This large financial burden can negatively impact individuals' long-term health and lead to exhausted hospital resources. Governments and organizations must work to ensure equitable access to healthcare during and after the pandemic, such as through public funding and expanding telehealth. The Bradley/Piekoff COVID-19 Forum is a unique initiative that organizes regional healthcare providers to discuss issues related to COVID-19, allowing sector experts to address topics essential for those seeking medical support such as vaccine distribution. The forum also keeps communities informed of new virus developments and treatments through online resources.
