236: Optimistic About the PH Workforce

Joanne Pearsol, ASTHO’s Director of Workforce Development, says the PH WINS survey shows many public health workers remain committed to their work despite the way they’ve been treated during the pandemic; Dr. Brian Castrucci, President and CEO of the de Beaumont Foundation, wants elected leaders to put the PH WINS findings into action; the results of a survey asking public health agencies to report their ability to respond to climate change and extreme weather events are available now; and there's still time to offer comments about a new road map for the Healthy Brain Initiative scheduled to come out later this year.
