CBERS 2023 Exercise Design for Community Partners

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) was awarded $9.9 million in funds under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) Cooperative Agreement for the Nursing Home & Long-Term Care Facility Strike Team and Infrastructure Project. This Virginia Long-Term Care Infrastructure Pilot Project (VLIPP) funding will be utilized in nursing homes and long-term care facilities to assist with the ongoing COVID-19 response and to bolster preparedness for emerging infections.

The following Virginia healthcare stakeholders are the subrecipients of these funds and are executing projects from late 2022 through July 2024.  Targeted facilities include skilled nursing homes (SNFs), assisted living facilities (ALFs), adult day care centers (ADCCs), as well as programming that will benefit all long-term care facilities.
