Capitol Hill Breakfast on Bioterrorism & Community Preparedness

Capitol Hill Breakfast on Bioterrorism & Community Preparedness
April 25, 2002
Hart Senate Office Building, Room 216 - Washington, DC

In the aftermath of the anthrax attacks in Washington, New York and Florida last year, one of the biggest threats to our security is lack of preparedness to respond to future acts of bioterrorism. Although multiple efforts are currently underway in the public and private sectors to fortify our biodefense network, gaps remain in our public health infrastructure that inhibit efficiently and effectively preparing communities to respond to future threats.

Featuring U.S. Senator Bill Frist, M.D., and Mr. Sidney Taurel, chairman, president and chief executive of Eli Lilly and Company, the event highlighted the dangers of drug-resistant organisms and emerging pathogens. and provided a fresh perspective on potential partnerships and long-term solutions to strengthening America’s biodefense.
