We are saddened to learn of the passing of Bernie Marcus, cofounder and former CEO and chairman of The Home Depot. Marcus also served as the former chairman of the CDC Foundation's board of directors. While he is known to most of the world for his incredible business career, here at the CDC Foundation he is also remembered as a champion of public health in his efforts to strengthen the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by helping the agency do more, faster. Through the generosity of his time and support, Marcus catalyzed commitments to strengthen CDC’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in the early 2000s in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. And, he then joined other Atlanta business leaders in advocating to Congress for a reimagined campus and lab infrastructure for CDC to meet the increasing demands of the 21st Century. Today, we celebrate the life and world-changing impact of Bernie Marcus—thank you for making the world a healthier and safer place for us all.

#ICYMI: The measles-rubella microarray patch is a small sticker that could address some pretty large problems. Measles-containing vaccines are 97% effective at preventing the spread of what is considered one of the world's most contagious diseases, but transporting the vaccine, especially those that require refrigeration, to remote areas around the world can be complicated. Roughly the size of a silver dollar coin, this patch is an innovative vaccine method that requires no refrigeration (unlike the current measles and rubella vaccine), is easy to transport and even easier to administer. Learn how close we are to seeing widespread use of this incredible solution: https://cdcf.link/3TE2vd5

As many of us working in the field know, public health often works best when it is unseen—when it stops diseases before they disrupt communities, when it prevents illnesses and injuries before they impact individuals and families. With increases in extreme weather across the country, the public health community can play an important role in engaging with employers to help protect workers. This article highlights the need for action as well as the work of the National Commission on Climate and Workforce Health, which is made up of a diverse group of prominent U.S. business leaders and public health and safety experts and where I am a member.
