When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, Berks County was left without a local public health department to spearhead contact tracing, prevention efforts, and immunization programs. As a result, the community had to come together to fill the gap, highlighting the need for improved public health infrastructure and access to healthcare services, including disease prevention and community health initiatives. This lack of support has significant implications for the community's overall wellbeing and health outcomes.
