Event Overview
We find ourselves in the middle of a pandemic much unlike any of the outbreaks that we’ve seen in modern history. Day-to-day life has been significantly disrupted, and many of the systems and patterns that provide us security are unstable. Certain populations have been disproportionately vulnerable to the virus and/or the effects of infrastructure changes being made to control its spread. Join the KHC for a discussion on how COVID-19 is impacting Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
