Clark County officials say a new COVID-19 contact-tracing partnership between the county and the nonprofit Public Health Institute (PHI) is helping county residents, including those in Camas and Washougal, move safely through Governor Jay Inslee’s four-phase state reopening.
“Our experience with PHI has exceeded our expectations,” Alan Melnick, Clark County’s public health director and health officer, stated in a news release. “PHI provides services in multiple languages, they respect diversity and understand how the social determinants of health affect morbidity and mortality from COVID-19.”
