Every team member of the Chemung County Health Department participated in our county’s COVID-19 response. Everyone worked long hours, 6-7 days per week, for months. The home health staff assisted with testing, vaccination, and other clinical needs. The WIC program became our call and message center. The environmental health program conducted isolation/quarantine checks and performed “NY Pause” complaint investigations. The public health staff learned a new software program, conducted case investigations, and answered 1,000’s of questions from the public and the medical community. The tobacco program became case investigators and data trackers. The administrative team members kept the COVID-19 Response team updated as information and guidance changed regularly, by holding (often multiple) daily meetings. Almost everyone became a case investigator, and all staff worked at a testing and vaccination clinic.

In addition to the Health Department staff that participated in testing and vaccination clinics, Chemung County also benefitted from the contributions and support of many volunteers and staff from other county departments and agencies. Many of the county-run clinics were staffed with more volunteers than health department personnel. Many challenges were faced as scheduling for these clinics was often done on short notice and at varied locations. It truly was a community effort. We could not have performed testing and vaccination without the hard work of these partners in public health response.
