We’ve come to the end of this year’s #NPHWChat! We had a great time chatting with all of you – it flew by! Thanks @bsky.app for this great platform. We know the convo isn’t over, so let’s keep it going beyond NPHW. Thank you for all you do for public health!

A7. Broadband investments can remove geographic barriers, connecting rural and low-income communities to healthcare without travel, specially where the public health workforce is limited. #NPHWChat

A6. WE developed and have trained hundreds of policymakers and decision makers using Pathways to Population Health Equity www.publichealthequity.org #NPHWChat

A5. Partnering with schools, local governments, and nonprofits. Engaging people who are not thriving and assisting them with finding solutions within their own communities will decrease the need for a larger governmental workforce. This is what we did in rise4all.org #NPHWChat

A4.Connecting health and wealth, especially in communities that have been marginalized, can create health, hope, and shared prosperity. For example, linking 'food is medicine' programs with purchasing from small, local, disadvantaged farmers strengthens both well-being and local economies. #NPHWChat

A3. We've found that building community resilience through local leadership, equity, and strong social networks has been key to preparing communities for uncertainties including extreme weather. Empowered communities respond better—together #NPHWChat

A2. We develop relationships, understand each other's needs, interests, and assets, develop shared agreements lightly held about how we will work together–and then try it out with something concrete but small. WE believe that no one can do this work alone. #NPHWChat

A1 One of the most powerful public health wins is the 62% drop in HIV deaths and the two-thirds reduction in teen pregnancies. These outcomes reflect how policy, prevention, and health equity efforts have saved lives over the past 30 years. apha.org/infographic #NPHW #NPHWChat #NPHW30

A1. The focus on addressing social drivers of health and health equity together with partners across sectors. Also, co-designing solutions with communities, fostering trust, and ensuring that interventions are culturally relevant and sustainable. #NPHWChat
