The Colorado Medical Society also hosted a virtual Town Hall on physicians’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic on Nov. 18. They addressed three main topics: bamlanivimab, an IgG neutralizing monoclonal antibody treatment; workforce shortages in the current COVID-19 surge; and new Public Health Order. Stay updated on how you can request resources for your hospital or organization to address workforce issues. A request form will be available within the next week: https://info.hwlmsp.com/colorado-staffing-collaborative.
