During height of media interest in Ebola, we coordinated media interviews for the UCAOA with the
Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The New
York Times, Modern Healthcare, The Dallas Morning News and KDRV-TV in
Denver, and provided written statements for many other local inquiries. The AP
story alone was featured on numerous high-profile news websites and was
picked up by more than 150 outlets in total. UCAOA experts used these
opportunities to show how urgent care was extremely prepared to handle
potential Ebola cases – and to encourage citizens who believed they had
symptoms to call 911 to limit potential exposure to others.
The hype and
hyperbole of the Ebola threat has subsided, but
thanks to UCAOA’s quick response to the situation and readiness to speak with
interested media, we were able to help offer reassurance at the height of the
scare – and establish UCAOA as a well-prepared, informative resource for
health-related stories.
