This National Public Health Week, join PHCC Director Amanda Kwong, MPH, and Angela McGowan, JD, MPH, senior director of APHA’s Alliance for the Public’s Health, for a 45-minute fireside chat exploring what this year’s theme, “Ready. Set. Action!” looks like for public health communicators.
This session will explore the challenge of public health communications in defending science-backed research amid rapid public health restructuring and rising misinformation.
You will walk away with:
- Insights on how communicators can protect, advocate for, and strengthen the public health field through a policy lens.
- Practical strategies for communicating effectively in polarized environments.
- A sense of community with peers who understand the unique challenges of the field.
The last 15 minutes are dedicated to your questions. Let’s discuss what you need to move your teams forward through uncertainty, build connections, and improve communication for better health.
