Speaker: Lisa Crossman, Deputy Director of Cobb & Douglas Public Health and Executive Director of Cobb & Douglas Health Foundation
Program: Community Update - COVID Vaccine Rollout

The COVID-19 vaccine is giving new hope to 2021. Georgia is currently in Phase 1-A of its vaccine rollout, which prioritizes health-care workers and residents and staff at long-term care facilities. Recently adults 65 and older, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and first responders were added to the list of those eligible to receive a vaccine under Phase 1-A. The vaccine's distribution gives us optimism that we are one step closer to seeing an end to this pandemic.

Join us as Lisa Crossman gives us a community update on the vaccination plan for Cobb, shares how quickly we will be able to receive the vaccine, and the public health forecast of what to expect post-vaccine. Lisa and the Cobb & Douglas Public Health staff have been on the front lines since February 2020 working 24/7 dealing with the outbreak.

Lisa has been with CDPH since 1997 and has held several leadership positions. She is currently Deputy Director and also responsible for the Center for Community Health, which works to develop partnerships and resources to fulfill the CDPH strategic plan and the Cobb2020 and Live Healthy Douglas community health improvement plans. She and her team serve the community through the Family Health Management programs (e.g., Babies Can’t Wait, WIC, Children’s Medical Services, Safe Kids), Chronic Disease Prevention, Government Relations, and Development Office. Lisa is the Executive Director of the CDPH nonprofit affiliate, the Cobb & Douglas Health Foundation.

Lisa has been helping residents reach optimal health through individual wellness, physical rehabilitation and health policy efforts since 1982. She established several hospital and corporate-based wellness and rehabilitation centers in Florida and Georgia over the past 30+ years, including Wellstar’s Health Place, where she served as the inaugural Director from 1985-1997.

Lisa is very active in the community and in addition to her work, she serves on the Cobb Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, the Douglas Chamber of Commerce, the Cobb County Safety Village Foundation Board, Kiwanis Club of Marietta, and North Metro Church. She is also excited to now be involved with the Georgia Metropolitan Dance Theatre since the 2020 Dancing with the Stars Marietta event, where she and her dance partner, Sam Heaton won the “People’s Choice” mirror ball!

This will be an all-virtual event.
