Late last year, the CSIS Commission on Strengthening America's Health Security released its final report on ending the cycle of crisis and complacency in U.S. global health security. This miniseries of Take as Directed will delve into the detail of some of the Commission's recommendations. In this second episode of the miniseries, Steve talks with Ambassador Jimmy Kolker, former assistant secretary for global affairs at the US Department of Health and Human Services and a member of the Commission; and Carolyn Reynolds, senior associate at the Center. They discuss trends in global investment in health security, how countries have been preparing themselves for an outbreak, and the Commission’s recommendation that the World Bank establish a Pandemic Preparedness Challenge, that could incentivize countries to invest in their own preparedness.

Health Security Miniseries: Ambassador Jimmy Kolker and Carolyn Reynolds on Pandemic Preparedness Investments

Long-time friend hailing from Baltimore, Jimmy Kolker talks about going from the family lumber industry and run-ins with his father to running a highly successful spa in Ashland, Oregon called The Blue Giraffe before retiring to a life of travel, riding horses, painting and his grandchildren. Jimmy also recounts getting out of the draft by dropping acid and acting crazy and being chased by the mounted police is a Vietnam War protest in the streets of downtown Cleveland, Ohio after the bombing of Cambodia. He's got a million stories and we could have chatted a lot longer. I also talk to friend Ruth Kennedy about her involvement with The Equator Foundation in Ashland, Oregon, a non-profit organization that rescues abused horses and provides a safe and healthy environment for them to live out the rest of their lives.
