In this episode of Simply Authentic, we welcome Katie Towns, Director of the Springfield-Greene County Health Department. Katie served as Assistant Director during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when public health was at the forefront of our community’s response. She shares her experiences leading through one of the most challenging crises of our time—what she learned, the leadership skills she developed, and how she eventually stepped into the role of Director.
Looking back, is there anything she would have done differently? Are we, as a region and a nation, more prepared for future health emergencies? And what advice does she have for other leaders facing high-pressure situations?
Join us for an illuminating conversation about resilience, decision-making, and the leadership lessons that emerge from navigating a crisis.
