Join our coffee chat on April 22: Prevention matters during COVID-19 and beyond

Prevention Matters During COVID-19 and Beyond: Engaging Leaders to Prioritize Preventive Policies and Programs Thursday, April 22 from 2:00pm – 2:50pm Eastern

Speakers:
• Peter Holtgrave, the Senior Director of Public Health Infrastructure and Systems at the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO)
• Erin Bayer, the Senior Director of Chronic Disease and Health Improvement at the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO)
• Lori Fresina, the Vice President and Executive Director of Voices for Healthy Kids, American Heart Association

The goals for this session are:

  • For participants to hear perspective and tips from speakers on how to engage and converse with leaders and decision-makers about prioritizing prevention and health promotion, both during COVID-19 and beyond
  • For participants to discuss with and hear from others on best practices for holding these conversations and share how the CHOICES team can be supportive

For those who have not attended a coffee chat before, in the context of the CHOICES Community of Practice, our coffee chats are informal yet structured conversations. It’s a unique opportunity to gather ideas, innovate together, network, and hear personal stories.

If you have any specific questions or requests for discussion topics that you’d like the CHOICES Team to address during the coffee chat, please send us an email at choicesproject@hsph.harvard.edu.
