Public Health Essentials for Health Departments 2024 Webinar Series

The Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), in partnership with the Public Health Infrastructure Grant network, National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), and the Pennsylvania Public Health Association (PPHA), is offering a series of monthly webinars that will address essential public health concepts, models, resources, and processes. The webinars are developed specifically for governmental public health departments and their staff to be used as professional development opportunities through the live webinar presentation, but also via leveraging the webinar recording and/or slides (to be shared after the live webinar) as in-house training materials for newly hired staff in health department settings. This series will feature a variety of public health speakers and health department voices. Tune in to learn more about the valuable role of health departments in shaping and supporting their communities.

The first of these webinars, occurring on March 5th, 2024, will delve into the foundational concepts of public health and how they link together and support one another. Included are public health definitions, the social determinants of health, the ten Essential Public Health Services, and Foundational Public Health Services.
