You can also engage your public health peers and elected officials on these topics through social media, including on Facebook and Twitter. Finally, ask questions at public forums, like virtual town halls, to start conversations about public health.
During NPHAW, there will also be events happening throughout the week. Simply click here to RSVP for them! Follow GSGA on Instagram and Facebook to stay updated on the upcoming themes during NPHAW.
