Public health attorneys offer a balanced approach to public health law by crafting policies that are defensible, enforceable, and protect population health while considering the perspectives of community members.
Local health department (LHD) immunization programs have been working hard to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are available to all people in their communities. NACCHO spoke with two LHDs in Minnesota—Goodhue County Health and Human Services and Polk County Public Health— about how they have reached priority populations in their areas. Their strategies and approaches can help other LHDs do the same.
In 2021, NACCHO and NCHH worked with teams in Boston, Cleveland, and Milwaukee and developed Stories from the Field highlighting the lead work being done in each of these communities as well has how they adjust with the COVID-19 Response.
Suffolk County (NY) mentored Franklin County (OH)’s new tick surveillance program as part of NACCHO’s Vector Control Collaborative. COVID-19 travel restrictions did not stop the expansion of tick species, nor did they stop this virtual mentorship. FaceTime tick dragging is a socially-distanced and low-cost way to receive technical assistance for field work.
Harris County Public Health developed the COVID-19 Equity Testing Strategy to ensure equitable testing opportunities, specifically for children and infants, regardless of testing barriers.
In May 2020, NACCHO conducted a brief survey to assess local health departments' (LHDs) HIV self-testing capacity and challenges. This is Part 3 in our 'Stories from the Field' series highlighting LHD approaches to implementing self-testing models into practice.
