This Public Health Week, let's emphasize the power of inclusivity! Public health is intersectional, multifaceted, and requires everyone to have a seat at the table. Whether you're a doctor, policymaker, nurse, social worker, researcher, community health worker, part of a community-based organization, patient, caregiver, just leaving college, or have been in the work force for 30+ years, your perspective matters. All of us have something valuable to contribute to shaping a healthier future for all. Let's come together and ensure that every voice is heard. As public health professionals, we can start by making sure that from the beginning, everyone feels welcomed to share their experiences and contribute to creating change, no matter their level of education. #PublicHealthWeek #Inclusivity #CommunityEngagement

Question for health educators: Thinking about your work designing health promotion programs, how do you describe your work in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion?

New Blog Post Alert! "Affirmative Action Matters in Public Health" by Karol Dean, PhD, and Ronisha Edwards-Elliott, MSW, Mia Bonds, Jessica Coffee, and Mia Hayford A year has passed since the Supreme Court’s decision on affirmative action in college admissions, and its impacts on community health are becoming increasingly apparent. This ruling has significant implications for the diversity of health care providers and the quality of care in under-resourced communities. At Health & Medicine, we nurture college students (through our AHEC program) and graduate students (through our Schweitzer Fellowship program) who will be affected by this decision. As we engage with these students to build a workforce committed to health equity, the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision will shape the demographic makeup of future health care workers, potentially limiting the representation and cultural familiarity needed to effectively address inequities in health care delivery and health outcomes. ??

Health education plays a vital role in improving the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and the nation. Health educators make a significant impact by enhancing quality of life, increasing longevity, reducing illness and disability, and even helping to lower healthcare costs. Through their expertise, they provide essential skills, knowledge, and training to support healthcare providers, policymakers, educators, and other professionals who influence public health. As we observe National Health Education Week, it's a great time to spotlight the crucial role health education plays in promoting public health and raising awareness about important health issues. Let's continue to support and recognize the work of health educators in fostering healthier communities #HealthEducation #PublicHealth #NationalHealthEducationWeek #CommunityWellness #nhew #thisispublichealth

Role of public health professionals in community centric advocacy and the existential dilemma As public health professionals, it is incumbent upon us to lead the charge in advocating for the optimal health of society. However, the question of what constitutes 'optimal' is complex and multifaceted. The gap between the data-driven decisions made within the confines of air-conditioned offices and the tangible need at the grassroots level is often wide. The latter requires an understanding that is culturally attuned and resonates with the lived experiences of a diverse populace, many of whom may lack formal education that informs their understanding of health. This raises a pivotal question: Do we, as erudite public health professionals, possess the requisite empathy to truly comprehend the day-to-day narratives of ordinary individuals? And are we willing to step out of our comfort zones, bridging the gap between academic theory and the enriching education that can only be gained through direct engagement with the experiences of the everyday person? Moreover, as we engage more deeply with community life, we confront the challenge of ensuring that our technocratic skills remain relevant and effective within the context of the slower, more nuanced fabric of everyday life. The key lies in striking a balance between analytical rigor and a grounded, realistic approach to public health. Please share your thoughts, I am curious.
