Our Vision:
The current COVID-19 pandemic enhances our ability to address social challenges through citizen engagement.
By March 2025, public health-driven considerations are driving the response to the COVID-19 Pandemic-related then political consideration.
By March 2025 a treatment, as well as prevention for the virus (Vaccines), is available to all individuals who have access to affordable, evidence-based treatment.
By November 2025 every individual who experiences symptoms of COVID-19 infection has access to and is able to receive evidence-based, best practice informed treatment that improves their well-being in outcomes that matter for them.
By August 2025 there are no reported deaths of COVID-19 infection reported in the US.
Ongoing
The psychological, economic, social, political challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are recognized and their impact is addressed on all levels of culture, institutions, government.
Be Part of the Solution
This is version 1.0 (very early stage) of the citizen commission any feedback is greatly appreciated as we develop future versions.
The challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic require a comprehensive response at all aspects of society. If you believe as we do that preventable deaths associated with the COVID-19 are unacceptable and largely preventable. If you believe that long-standing systemic issues such as racism, raging inequality have no place in our society. If you would like to help build a more citizen-based framework for citizen engagement to address social challenges.

The COVID 19 Case Presentation and Citizen Commission Version 1.0
This is version 1.0 (very early stage) of the citizen commission any feedback is greatly appreciated as we develop future versions.
The COVID-19 Citizen Commission Version 1.0 and Medical Case Presentation are frameworks for a citizen-oriented approach to engage with the challenges facing us in the body politic of the United States. Using the medical case presentation as an organizing structure, the COVID-19 Pandemic Citizen Commission offers a dynamic, interactive, collaborative process that engages our fellow citizens to address the biological, social, financial challenges confronting us as individuals, members of our community and citizens of the nation and the world. It provides a vehicle for citizens to collaborate, identify, analyze, develop, implement and monitor a solution based “treatment plan” for medical problems.
