New Webinar Offers Strategies for Connecting Civic Participation and Health

A recent Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC) webinar highlighted practical, nonpartisan strategies for helping communities understand how civic participation can influence public health.

Connecting the Value of Public Health to Civic Participation, held ahead of the midterm elections, featured communicators and civic engagement experts who emphasized linking participation to health outcomes, working with trusted messengers, making decision-making power visible, and closing the loop with participants.

Panelists shared data showing states where voting is easier have better health outcomes and offered frameworks for engaging people in local, state, and national processes. The recording, transcript, slides, ASL interpretation, and resources are now available.
