Today is the 12th annual #DISRecognitionDay! DIS are the backbone of the public health system. We’re grateful for them every day, but especially on #DISDay2023. #DISMakeADifference

[JSI in the U.S. @JSIhealth_US]

From syphilis in the 1930s to COVID-19 in 2020, DIS are there for us even when we don’t know they are. #DISMakeADifference through commitment and dedication to public health each day! #DISDay2023

#DISRecognitionDay is Friday! Many first learned about Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS) during the covid-19 pandemic, but DIS have been on the frontlines of public health responses since the 1930s 😯 @JSIhealth is proud to support DIS across the country. #CEDIS ❤️

[CDC STD @CDCSTD]

#DYK that DIS have been on the frontlines of public health responses since the 1930s? Their work is unmatched, and our country wouldn’t be the same without them.
