 coordination across programs were discussed as key to effective service delivery. Continued
 collaboration with the City’s internal departments and external partners was highlighted as essential
 to community outreach and system-wide responses. Kelley concluded with a focus on sustaining
 public health operations, strengthening partnerships, and maintaining responsiveness to both
