Five passengers from the MV Hondius are now back in their home states following their departure from @UNMC’s National Quarantine Unit. ASPR coordinated their travel on non-commercial flights and ensured the appropriate PPE was deployed on the planes to help protect passengers, transportation staff, and the American people. Thirteen passengers remain in Omaha for monitoring. https://t.co/HU2gxESth5

When disasters overwhelm hospitals, NDMS helps bring trained teams, move patients, and connect communities to definitive care. Strengthening NDMS bolsters state and local resilience — and PAHPA reauthorization is vital to sustaining this capability.

Today, our nation will pause to honor fallen police officers. ASPR is providing public health and medical support at the National Peace Officers Memorial. Teams from the National Disaster Medical System are working behind-the-scenes to provide medical support to those working and attending the event.

We are proud to stand alongside the families and communities commemorating those officers who gave their lives in service, and we reaffirm our commitment to public service and the safety of our communities.

NDMS DMAT & pharmaceutical caches & mobile lifesaving kits are centralized and ready for deployment, thanks to recent partnerships with Hospital Universitario Ramón Ruiz Arnau and with VA Caribbean Healthcare System. Storage of these caches helps make our assets more rapidly deployable and strengthens regional preparedness and response capabilities in the territories.

Since arriving on April 24, ASPR’s Disaster Behavioral Health Support provided over 300 instances of psychological first aid and/or crisis counseling in response to Typhoon Sinlaku.

Behind each number is a person navigating loss and uncertainty. And in each interaction, there is also a quiet reminder: even in the most difficult moments, support and hope are never out of reach.

[Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response @HHS_ASPR]

Thank you, @Jenniffer, for warm welcome and meaningful dialogue. Puerto Rico’s pharmaceutical sector remains a key pillar of national security, and I look forward to continuing to work together on enhancing both disaster preparedness and pharmaceutical supply chain resilience.

Not all infections are the same, so why treat them the same? Start by knowing what you are treating. A @BARDA-supported test by @LumosDX determines whether a patient's acute respiratory infection is caused by bacteria. Information from the newly @US_FDA cleared test can be used to help patients avoid unnecessary treatments and costs while improving antibiotic stewardship. https://t.co/VE3RgyJlis

[BARDA @BARDA]

The FebriDx Bacterial/Non-bacterial Assay from @LumosDX is the 110th BARDA-supported product to receive @US_FDA approval, licensure or clearance. The 510(k) clearance & CLIA-waiver expands use of the test in settings like doctor’s offices, pharmacies, etc. ⬇️

Schneider Regional Medical Center is building the systems and strengthening the coalitions needed to respond to threats caused by high consequence infectious diseases, hazardous chemicals, and natural disasters. This year, the Center received a Special Pathogen Treatment and Network Development (STAND) Award, providing it with the funding needed to become a Level 2 Special Pathogen Treatment Center.

@HHS_ASPR Knox met with @SRMedicalCenter leaders to discuss building resilience in the U.S. Virgin Islands and across the region.
