Ebola and Emerging Infectious Diseases Preparedness Forum: Quote of the Day

I am spending the day on the campus of the University of Virginia at the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) directed Ebola and Emerging Infectious Diseases Preparedness Forum. Represented were UVA, VCU and other Virginia hospitals. Always a pleasure to dialogue on all things related to infectious diseases with colleagues, including Dr. Costi Sifri, my homologue at UVA.

To quote Dr. Marissa Levine, VDH Commissioner: Critical partnerships and collaborations are the secret sauce of emergency preparedness.

I agree, that's why we are here.

The best preparedness is when you believe that you are not yet ready.
