As health communicators, we have a responsibility to create communication materials that respectfully reflect our audiences’ identities and experiences. And this is especially important when we write about disability. That’s why we created a new playbook all about disability and inclusive language — full of tips to help you navigate complex language choices and communicate with #Empathy. Download and share our new Inclusive Language Playbook: Writing About Disability — and watch a special message from our President, Stacy Robison: https://lnkd.in/grxP3MsN #HealthComm #HealthEquity

We had the pleasure of attending NACCHO #PHI*con and NACCHO360 #NA360 last month in Detroit, MI — and getting inspired by the impactful work of #PublicHealth departments and agencies across the nation. So we wanted to share our top 3 takeaways: - There’s a role for public health #informatics in every health department. Data-driven strategies are key to improving health in the communities you serve - Don’t hesitate to share your findings and work! There are great things happening in the world of public health, and local, state, and national leaders need to know. Sharing your findings through social media, newsletters, conferences, and publications can lead to new partnerships and resources - You can embrace #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI). It’s not a replacement for your skills — but it can enhance them, speeding up tasks like data analysis and #HealthCommunication. Thank you to NACCHO for a great week – we’re energized for the future of public health!

CH hit the ground running this week to develop a #FormativeResearch, #DataModernization, and #ChangeManagement approach to support the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in designing a new data tool for local #PublicHealth staff. With our awesome partners at BME Strategies, we're excited to better understand the current data landscape and ways that local health data can support #QualityImprovement and #DataDriven policies across the Commonwealth — so local health officials can better predict and respond to health threats like outbreaks, natural disasters, and infrastructure issues.
