65 - Dr. Judy Monroe, CDC Foundation CEO on how public-private partnerships eradicate disease

Dr. Judy Monroe is the President and CEO of the CDC Foundation. There, she mobilizes philanthropic and private sector resources to support CDCs critical health protection work, managing hundreds of programs across the United States, and in more than 130 countries. The first part of our conversation that you're about to hear occurred before COVID-19 came to the United States, and we cover the development of the Ebola vaccine, recommendations on building a career in public health and why it takes public private partnerships to eradicate a disease. In the second half of this episode, we continued our conversation remotely covering the foundation's remarkable response to COVID-19, including how the private sector has stepped up in partnership with the CDC and state public health departments all across the country to fight this virus.
