NNPHI’s Project ECHO for Public Health Programs
NNPHI became an ECHO Replication Partner in early 2019 and has been leading efforts to translate the ECHO model to public health to create peer learning spaces for public health professionals in their efforts to address complex and seemingly intractable challenges. In recent years, NNPHI teams and our partners have facilitated many ECHO programs including the following:
Environmental Health Communication Strategies in a Hurricane Emergency Event
In this six-session ECHO series, participants discussed environmental health challenges associated with hurricanes through the lens of communication strategies. Presenters and panelists supported thought leadership and partnership development to guide participants in establishing action plans that will optimize their public outreach, community engagement, and use of communication media.
Conducting Successful CHA/CHIPs Virtually During COVID-19
In this series designed for public health performance improvement professionals, participants discussed various facets of the community health assessment and community health improvement plan process, including equity-centric community engagement, data sharing, consensus building, and collaborative planning.
