That means strong collaboration between federal, state, and local leaders. Every day I hear from Oklahomans with questions about access to health care and where they can turn for help during this historic crisis. I am grateful to work with Mayor Holt and Dr. McGough to provide answers through this virtual town hall.” “Providing accurate and frequent updates to the people of Oklahoma City is imperative during this pandemic,” said Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt. “I’m glad to have this opportunity to share updates and address any questions our residents have regarding COVID-19.” “We appreciate Oklahoma’s elected officials advocating for Oklahomans during this unprecedented time,” said Dr. Patrick McGough, Executive Director of the Oklahoma City-County Health Department. “Congresswoman Horn’s virtual town hall meetings have been a tremendous opportunity for residents to receive up-to-date information on the virus and how the public health response is working to mitigate it.
