What happens when a massive sewage spill threatens one of the nation’s busiest waterways — and how do public health systems respond?

On today's Public Health Review Morning Edition, Ayanna Bennett, director of DC Health, joins the show to discuss the Potomac River sewage spill that unfolded during a severe winter storm. She shares insights on the public health risks it created and the extraordinary coordination required across local, state, and federal agencies to protect drinking water, recreation, and food safety.

Later in the episode, ASTHO Senior Vice President for Population and Innovation Jennifer Layden returns to discuss why partnerships remain central to ASTHO’s 2026–2029 strategic plan.
