City Solutions: The Las Vegas Response to COVID-19
In this episode of Leading Las Vegas, Mason Van Howling, Chief Executive Officer of the University Medical Center, and Carolyn Levering, Emergency Management Administrator of the City of Las Vegas, discuss ways that the city and the medical community responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Managing COVID-19 created enormous challenges for cities around the world. The early days of the response brought great uncertainty, as cities and healthcare providers worked to contain the spread of the virus, and treat those who contracted it. A shortage of hospital beds and medical supplies, including personal protective equipment, had to be overcome. Ultimately, a high level of collaboration between cities, hospitals, and other entities, was needed to develop creative and innovative solutions to respond to the greatest health crisis in a century.
