In a time when many of us feel increasingly disconnected out of public health necessity, an effort led by the College of Public Health is bringing together those in need with those most able to offer assistance. COVID Connect, a project to unite health departments and other organizations with professional volunteers willing to share their expertise, already has begun to serve as a lifeline during an unprecedented time in modern history.
