NACCHO, on behalf of the nearly 3,000 local health departments across the country, recognizes World Hepatitis Day, acknowledging the magnitude and impact of viral hepatitis, which causes significant morbidity and kills more Americans than any other infectious disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Vital Statistics System, the 2018 maternal mortality rate was 17.4 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, placing the United States significantly behind other developed countries.
In July 2019, when I began this journey as NACCHO President, I stood in front of over 1,300 NACCHO Annual attendees and asked the question—“What kind of leader are you?” As important, I asked how their family, employees, and their communities would answer that.
On July 7–9, 2020, approximately 600 local public health professionals participated in NACCHO’s first ever virtual conference, NACCHO 360. Attendees participated in nearly 100 sharing sessions, learned from expert-led panels, and discovered solutions to improve public health in their communities.

In this week’s episode of Podcast from Washington, NACCHO Government Affairs team members Ian Goldstein and Eli Briggs discuss NACCHO’s statement on racially driven violence against black Americans.
As an organization focused on strengthening clinical-community partnerships to implement upstream work that address health equity, HealthBegins developed a guide that can help local health departments apply a health equity lens to their contact tracing workforce approach.
Historically, medical research has failed to ethically and rigorously include people who were not white, straight, cisgender and overwhelmingly male in studies designed to expand medicine. NIH's All of Us Research Program is working to change that.
