One way our Public Health entity can increase its collaborative efforts with community non-governmental organizations to prepare for any future pandemics is having engagement within the community (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2019). With developing the community’s support, research teams can be conducted, and the members of the community can be apart of research on all levels (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2019).
