5A The public health workforce needs to communicate its reach and impact to effectively engage with community members. We surveyed over 1,600 U.S. adults to assess their understanding of public health. 🧵 #NPHWchat

Thank you for your efforts! We need more representatives like you. Our profession is vital to sustaining America's success. #NPHW
A5: As a public health professional who is also in elected office, it is my DUTY to speak out against the targeting and denigrating of our profession. I've been pushing back against this anti-science rhetoric every chance I get, and this isn't partisan - we ALL lose when we disrespect PH #NPHWChat

Q5 Public health workforce – What are some innovative ways for public health professionals to engage with their community in this time of potential contraction of the governmental public health workforce? #NPHWChat #NPHW
April 9, 2025 at 6:42 PM
A5 The future of public health depends on rebuilding a diverse, well-supported workforce. We must tackle burnout, invest in training, and adapt to emerging threats like AI, climate, government divestment in health and misinformation.

Public health depends on people from different organizations and disciplines working together to address the places where people live, work, and play. #NPHWChat
A4. 80% of health is created by the conditions where people live, work, & play. That's why, through advocacy, community organizing & coalition building, we promote the building blocks of good health: clean air, safe drinking water, reliable public transit, affordable housing, & more. #NPHWChat

A5 Public health touches every part of our lives—from the water we drink to the air we breathe and the care we receive. As we navigate workforce challenges, it's critical to integrate public health thinking across sectors—education, business, tech, and beyond. apha.org/infographic #NPHW30 #NPHWChat

Important point! The conditions where we live impact all of us - thus the need for us all to understand social determinants of health! #NPHWChat

A3: Monitoring weather patterns and having clear communications are vital to helping communities prepare for extreme weather events. The elimination of programs at CDC, EPA, and NOAA that work on these issues is worrying as weather continues to get worse. #NPHWChat

A3 Every US community needs to have a extreme heat strategy. Whether you call it climate change or "bad weather" our population requires action. APHA has several resources at the Center for Climate, Health and Equity. apha.org/topics-and-i...

It is so important that community based programs continue on! Our leaders need to pay attention and reverse this decimating course! #NPHWChat
A2 (2/2): Several programs at CDC have spent years building trust with communities. Now, these relationships are in jeopardy as programs are cut or not allowed to operate as they used to. #NPHWChat

Collaboration is the name of the game. Community partners need to be at the table for both implementation and research #NPHWChat
A2 @apha.org: Successful, sustainable community health strategies are rooted in partnership—our work is always stronger when we bring together partners from across communities and sectors with unique perspectives, experiences and expertise. #NPHWChat
