Health Preparedness Partners (HPP) was founded by Dr. Lisa M. Koonin in 2019, after completing a career at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that spanned 30+ years.
HPP helps businesses, nonprofits, and governments plan for future health emergencies by evaluating their response to the COVID-19 pandemic, harvesting lessons learned, and providing consultation as they update emergency preparedness plans. Experts are certain that the COVID-19 pandemic is not the last infectious disease threat that we will face in the future. It is now imperative that we identify what strategies worked for protecting employees and the enterprise, and what businesses can improve upon. With these lessons learned, Health Preparedness Partners can advise businesses and organizations as they update their business continuity and emergency response plans to maximize preparedness for any future health risks. In addition, updated plans must be tested to ensure that they will work during an emergency. HPP provides consultation to businesses and organizations as they create and execute exercises for testing their plans.
Dr. Lisa Koonin, Founder of Health Preparedness Partners, is one of the public health leaders featured in Michael Lewis's 2021 book The Premonition. This award-winning author describes how Dr. Koonin, as part of a small team, developed the “social distancing” measures that were used throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and the role that she played in developing the national policy that informs our response to pandemics.

HPP partners with businesses, non-profits, and governments to bring an expert public health lens to their health preparedness efforts.

Organizations face sustained uncertainty in the face of COVID-19 and potential future health threats.
Leaders tasked with ensuring business health preparedness need to answer these fundamental questions:
What did we do well during the COVID-19 pandemic? What could we do better?
How can we best prepare for subsequent pandemic threats?
What are the most effective ways to protect our team and customers?
How should we interpret and apply emerging evidence and public health guidance?
HPP can help you navigate these challenges and more.
“HPP was, hands down, our top pick when selecting a consulting firm to work with our company on return to office strategy and preparedness. One big component that was missing for us was pandemic expertise. We felt paralyzed by the amount of information, misinformation, and advice that was circulating around and needed some direction.
Dr. Koonin and the HPP team armed us with the information and tools we needed to create a comprehensive reopening plan and feasible execution strategy. It is A LOT of work and we wanted to ensure we were making decisions that put safety first without sacrificing business needs.
Health Preparedness Partners did just that!"
- Cindy Gordon, Chief People Officer
