ASPR TRACIE’s Workplace Violence Considerations speaker series focuses on mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery from health care workplace violence incidents, such as armed assailants. On-campus armed assailant emergencies were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in dense areas of healthcare facilities, like the emergency department, parking lot, or in patient rooms. Learn how Allina Health Buffalo Crossroads Clinic (Minnesota) recovered from an active shooter incident; about The Joint Commission’s workplace violence standards and de-escalation examples that can be applied in real-world health care worker safety situations; and how an Emergency Management worker has used ASPR TRACIE’s resources in his position.

Perhaps second only to masks, gloves are a focal point of personal protective equipment in the medical and industrial spaces. In June 2021, U.S. Medical Glove Co. was awarded $63.3 million and partnered with IBMSC to increase the domestic production capacity of nitrile gloves by over 2 billion gloves per year to ensure hundreds of millions of gloves per month are available for ASPR’s Strategic National Stockpile supplies. U.S. Medical Glove Co.’s newest North American plant is also the only North American plant producing polyisoprene latex that meets ISO 9000 standards, which eliminates dependency on surgical gloves from Southeast Asia. The partnership between IBMSC and U.S. Medical Glove highlights the transformative impact of strategic investments needed in the domestic manufacturing world.

Open for Business! TriLink Biotechnologies’ new manufacturing site that produces key components of mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics is now online following a $38 million investment by ASPR’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. The ribbon cutting event for this facility marks a key milestone in enhancing domestic vaccine and therapeutic manufacturing.
On August 13, BARDA experts attended the ribbon cutting of our partner TriLink BioTechnologies, part of Maravai LifeSciences. Our $38M investment supported the construction of this facility, which will be a key site for manufacturing nucleic acid raw materials in San Diego, CA. These raw materials are key to producing mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics. BARDA is focused on improving the nation’s critical biopharmaceutical supply chain. mRNA technology has the potential to fill the gap in vaccine and therapeutic manufacturing in preparation for public health emergencies. This milestone demonstrates the power of public-private partnerships. When we work together, we can achieve more to improve and strengthen the health security of our nation.

Heat waves bring more with them than just heat. Air quality decreases, utilities break down, and heat-related illnesses increase. In 2021, Seattle experienced a heat wave with temperatures that were 30 degrees higher than average. Learn how regional and local collaboration facilitated key connections during Seattle’s heat wave in the summer of 2022 in ASPR TRACIE’s resource on lessons learned from Seattle’s Record-Breaking Summers. https://lnkd.in/gvtV2mNV
