HHS funds national Ebola training center
The Department of Health and Human Services today launched a National Ebola Training and Education Center, which will offer additional training opportunities for health care facilities and state health departments. Emory University in Atlanta, the University of Nebraska Medical Center/Nebraska Medicine in Omaha and Bellevue Hospital Center in New York will receive $12 million over five years to co-lead the center, which will expand on training offered by Emory and Nebraska Medical Center since December. “While this training starts with Ebola, it also will help the health care community deal with other serious infectious diseases in the future,” said Nicole Lurie, M.D., HHS assistant secretary for preparedness and response.
