The CDC Foundation held a four-part series to examine public health issues entitled: Lights, Camera, Action
Excerpt from the CDC Foundation:
The Lights, Camera, Action name is purposeful in conveying the public health landscape at this time and action-oriented approach needed to move the field forward. Lights represent the guiding lights from research, such as Public Health 3.0, and other work, including this week’s report from the Bipartisan Policy Center titled Public Health Forward. Lights are also exemplars in the field in practice and policy. The camera represents the view of public health through the lens of the pandemic and the loss of trust, emphasizing the need to create trust and a positive movement to rebuild and transform public health. The camera also emphasizes the need for all public health work to be seen through an equity lens. Action includes local, state and national steps public health officials can take to address the issues illuminated by the lights and captured through the camera.
Key public health issues include:
data infrastructure,
financing,
role of cross-sector partnerships,
in addition to future of the workforce.
