During COVID-19, federal, state and local officials took actions to mitigate disease spread and to protect the public’s health. Many of the actions were subject to legal challenges. This study by Michelle Mello of Stanford Law is the first study to examine how COVID-19-era decisions may constrain public health legal powers going forward.

Did You Know? In July 2024, the NYS Department of Health adopted changes to state regulations governing the SHIN-NY – the first-ever amendments since 2016. In its role as the State Designated Entity, NYeC is partnering with DOH to lead a series of regulatory reform initiatives to support SHIN-NY transformation. First up is the implementation of a uniform legal framework – the Statewide Common Participation Agreement (SCPA) – to streamline and promote efficient health information exchange throughout New York. Once implemented, all SHIN-NY Qualified Entities and participants will be required to sign the SCPA. On Wednesday, September 18th at 11:00AM, NYeC will host an all-comer webinar to provide an overview of the proposed SCPA and open a public comment period. To learn more and register to attend, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gYdDVXwW NYeC will release additional information on the SCPA and other regulatory reform initiatives in the coming months, including opportunities for stakeholder engagement, online at www.nyehealth.org.

Had the privilege of co-hosting a Zoom session with Stanley Greene of PowerThinking Corp in Philadelphia. I shared my personal journey of overcoming trauma, from transitioning from an Air Force military BRAT to a Navy Petty Officer during DESERT STORM. Despite facing challenges, I embraced resilience and faced the trauma of my past. Reflecting on the impact of Roe vs. Wade, I discussed the feeling of learned helplessness many young women may face. Emotional regulation and diversity of thoughts are crucial, especially in leadership roles. Let's equip ourselves with positive psychology tools and take educated risks in a global economy perspective. Thank you to all who engage in these important discussions. Let's continue to foster resilience and growth mindset in our communities.
