ABOUT CARRIE WHITAKER
We prevent illness, disability & premature death when when we optimize disease surveillance & response capacity. Health & social service systems that support transdisciplinary communication & collaboration save lives. The best outcomes are achieved when we work with patients, communities, & frontline clinicians to understand community priorities, needs, & how healthcare & social services & information are best delivered. We leverage that wisdom with the communities we serve to implement & sustain positive change. I work to facilitate more effective & transparent communication between & among patients, clinicians, communities, & administrators so that fewer people risk falling through the cracks of our deeply fragmented healthcare & public health system.
