Colorado officials are taking an unusual step to prepare for a future public health crisis. Here’...

Back in 1948, the U.S and other countries created a unique coalition: The World Health Organization ( https://www.who.int/about ) was established to address global health challenges including disease outbreaks like the COVID-19 pandemic. At the start of this year, the Trump administration formally withdrew ( https://www.who.int/news/item/24-01-2... ) the U.S. from the WHO. That withdrawal creates uncertainty over how the U.S., and individual states like Colorado, will track and respond to future outbreaks. So, Colorado is trying a new tactic. Health officials have applied to join the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network – or GOARN – as an individual state. Scientists and health officials say the move will put Colorado in a better position to respond to emerging diseases and will foster stronger public health policies across the state. Reporter John Ingold has been following this story for The Colorado Sun ( https://coloradosun.com/2026/03/02/wh... ). He joined Erin O'Toole to talk about the decision to join this global health network, and how it might help Coloradans prepare for the next health crisis. * * * * Sign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org ( http://kunc.org/ ) Questions?
