Ebola Virus Informational Audio Conference for Faith and Community Based Organizations

As more and more questions are raised regarding Ebola virus, what it is, how is it spread, how to contain its spread and how faith and community based organizations (FBCOs) may assist the communities they serve, a jointly sponsored conference will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2014 at 11:00 AM EST.

Resource And Promotion of Health Alliance, Inc., The African Methodist Episcopal Church Connectional Health Commission and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are hosting this conference for all faith and community based organizations. Based on a series of forums and webinars jointly conducted by CDC and Rev. Miriam J. Burnett, MD, MPH concerning Pandemic Flu, this conference will not only provide scientific information but will discuss the potential role of the places of worship, community and family with possible action items. A question and answer period will follow the presentations.
