Summary

The health department will pilot a regional epidemiologist from Rock County (Elsa Lowe) funded through WALDAP regional allocations to create dashboards and shared resources for participating counties.

The director said the county will participate in a one-year pilot to share an epidemiologist funded by regional WALDAP dollars. "Elsa Lowe from Rock County will be our regional epidemiologist," the director said, and staff will meet virtually to scope collaborative projects such as shared dashboards and resources that smaller counties might not be able to build independently.

The pilot aims to leverage regional expertise rather than duplicate small-county capacity. Director said the county will also hold a preparedness tabletop exercise on the 23rd to work through evacuation and family-assistance logistics after a derailment scenario with La Crosse County.
