‘Dr. Ziggy calls for changes to improve outcomes for inevitable next pandemic
Zigmond Kozicki is an associate professor of health administration at University of Detroit Mercy.

Kozicki felt research was needed to gather the baseline information necessary to come up with a new strategy to improve outcomes for what he believes could be an even worse next pandemic.
