Episode 5: Supporting health workers and communities before, during and after disaster

When disaster strikes, health workers are there to provide care and relief to their communities.

In episode 5, Vanessa meets Christine Squires, CEO of Americares to discuss the critical role health workers play in disaster preparedness, relief and response in honor of National Disaster Preparedness Month.

Vanessa and Christine shed light on how J&J and Americares work together to ensure health workers have the support and resources they need to care for their communities and themselves before, during and after a crisis.

Through J&J CareCommunity, our new social impact platform, we are providing support to the health workers who are responding to natural disasters, strengthening communities’ ability to withstand and recover from disaster. Learn more about this work.
