??A note from our director, Amanda Kwong, MPH: "Two weeks ago, 1,000+ public health professionals joined our "Ask Us Anything" webinar to engage with our expert panelists on combatting misinformation, communicating with empathy, social media strategy, finding reputable sources, and more. Even in the virtual space, the energy, encouragement, and collaboration were palpable. Like all our resources, we planned this conversation to meet your evolving communications needs. For nearly five years, PHCC has created timely, accurate, and clear public health messaging, resources, and communications training based on your feedback. Even in the uncertainty around us, you can remain certain of our deep and true commitment to you. Public health communicators have increasingly complex jobs, but with PHCC, you don’t have to go it alone."
