With new details about the science surrounding the COVID vaccine, vaccine hesitancy and how we can address vaccine equity in the next stages of the pandemic response, the National Network of Public Health Institutes invites you to join us for Emerging Lessons from COVID-19 Response: Action Towards Equity, taking place May 19, 2021. 

A virtual conversation to shape the future for 2021 and beyond, Part III of the COVID-19 lessons learned series will bring together leaders at the state, tribal, territorial, and community levels working in public health for an energizing and interactive experience that will include the launch of NNPHI’s new healthy equity initiative, Action Toward Equity. 

Participants will engage in discussions related to increasing multisector partnerships for racial equity, learn from elected officials working to depoliticize public health, explore how to improve health literacy, and generate strategies for transforming public health. Registration is now open, join us today!

The Public Health Improvement Training (PHIT) on June 7-9, 2021 in San Antonio, Texas, will feature a series of hands-on, skill-building workshops designed to elevate practice to the next level for the public health improvement workforce in order to take action in public health performance improvement topics such as:

• Resource Management (workforce development and financial management)
• PHAB Accreditation or Reaccreditation
• Community Health Assessment or Health Improvement Planning
• Performance Management
• Quality Improvement
• Strategic Planning; and
• Other Strategic Skills (systems thinking, change management, persuasive communication, data analytics, problem solving, diversity and inclusion, and policy engagement)

Our theme this year is Optimizing Your Resources Through Performance Improvement, and will highlight the relationship between resource management and performance improvement. In addition, PHIT will include a Leadership track designed for health department leadership and a session for those who are new to performance improvement.

PHIT attendees have the opportunity to select from a variety of interactive learning and skill-building sessions designed for all experience levels. At PHIT, participants gain practical tools, templates, resources, and contacts to support you to take action. Because smaller breakout sessions make for better learning, PHIT 2021 registration will be capped at 300 participants.

Registration will open in January 2021. For more information about PHIT, contact us at convenings@nnphi.org.
