Public Health Workforce Week 2026

This Public Health Workforce Week, we’re celebrating our members and the incredible impact they are making to protect and improve the health of our communities.

In this short video, featuring highlights from our podcast produced in collaboration with Panoramic Associates, we explore the role of a Director of Public Health and the many pathways into public health. Five of our members share their personal journeys into the role of a DPH, what inspires them in their work, and the difference they are making through their work.

Their stories offer insight into the varied and vital roles that help prevent ill health and create the conditions for communities to live, work, and grow well.
