Public Health Authority and Infrastructure: Opportunities for Support and Accountability

Join the Region 9 PHIG Hub at the PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact and ChangeLab Solutions for an hour-long interactive webinar on public health authority.

ChangeLab will share an overview of the Act for Public Health initiative and a tool, under development, to protect, promote, and improve how public health legal authority serves health equity. The session will highlight resources to help governmental public health practitioners understand and use their authority to address fundamental drivers of inequity, uplifting examples from across the country.

The webinar will be followed by a 30-minute working session, during which participants may stay on the call for an informal, deeper dive into any topics and questions raised during the hour.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe public health authority and how related legislative and litigation trends are influencing practitioners

  • Identify methods to protect, promote, and improve public health authority to work on upstream health equity solutions, with examples from communities around the country

This event is co-sponsored by the Western Region Public Health Training Center and Workforce Pathways for the Public’s Health, a program of the PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact.
