The initiative is a partnership between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and AmeriCorps, which for decades has brought expertise and staffing power to disaster response and other U.S. crises. The public health corps is supported by a five-year, $400 million investment from the American Rescue Plan Act. A.J. Pearlman, JD, started in May as the public health corps’ first director. She spoke with The Nation’s Health about the initiative.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
