As the COVID-19 pandemic grows across the US, Penn Nursing’s Alison Buttenheim, a public health researcher and behavioral epidemiologist and Penn Medicine’s Carolyn Cannuscio, a social epidemiologist, join Amplify Nursing to discuss the coronavirus—what we need to know, what we need to do to help lessen the spread, and what we should expect in the days and weeks to come.

A second COVID-19 episode features Lisa Campbell, professor at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing and chairperson of the Council of Public Health Nursing Organizations. Dr. Campbell talks about the current state of our public health system, the effect this rapidly changing pandemic is having on that system, and what we could be doing differently to flatten the curve.

Amplify Nursing was created and is hosted by Marion Leary, Penn Nursing’s director of innovation, and Angelarosa DiDonato, associate program administrator. It features nurses who are leading the way in nursing science, policy and innovation. The podcast is made possible by the Krista and Rich Pinola Fund for Innovation in Nursing. New episodes will be available every other Wednesday through iTunes, Spotify, GooglePlay and more.
