Influenza Work Group Organizations in Wayne County came together in April 2006 to prepare for a flu pandemic.  This group started small but has grown since its inception.  The group provides an organized avenue for the various partners to keep each other informed of their own preparedness efforts and determine how members can coordinate their efforts and assist each other in the event of a flu pandemic. Currently, there are several organizations involved with this planning effort, which are Wayne County Health Department Wayne Memorial Hospital Wayne County Office of Emergency Services (including Emergency Management and Emergency Medical Services) Seymour Johnson Air Force Base Red Cross Goldsboro Milling Company Wayne County Public Schools Wayne County Sheriffs Office Goldsboro Police Department Lutheran Family Services in the Carolinas Wayne Community College Wayne County Services on Aging Goldsboro Fire Department Excell Fashion Cherry Hospital Mount Olive College Turkington USA APV Heat Transfer The group meets every other month and is working diligently to prepare and plan so that a flu pandemic will be mitigated to the best of our abilities.
