On April 19, 2021, the Flex Monitoring Team hosted a webinar presenting their results from a survey of Critical Access Hospital (CAH) CEOs about their hospitals’ capacity to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics covered in the webinar included federal funding bills, federal policy waivers, capacity for treatment, workforce, and partnerships. In the second half of the webinar, the FMT answered questions from attendees and discussed future directions for evaluating CAHs’ response to COVID-19 and preparedness for future public health emergencies.
