“You inherit SORT and are the caretaker for a few years. And then you pass it on. You leave it better than you received it.” - Dan Brencic (RSPH ‘12). This is what has made @RollinsSort so special for the past 20 years. What a wonderful anniversary event tonight.
Excited to share this new paper by @EmoryEPI PhD student @Carol_YLiu using surveillance data to better understand household clustering of COVID-19. Special thanks to our great epi collaborators and co-authors at @FultonHealth. https://t.co/mNucrNxwM0
Want to learn about building durable academic-public health practice partnerships? Join me at next month’s @GaPubHealth Virtual Workshop where I’ll talk about core elements to the @ECRC_ and what’s possible with these valued partnerships. https://t.co/B49DCKcWeM
Save the date! We are celebrating SORT’s 20th Anniversary on Nov 17th from 6-8pm. There will be a guest speaker and panelists talking about SORT’s impact over the past 2 decades. Food and beverages provided. Everyone is welcome to join, we just ask that you RSVP by Nov. 11th :)
Sigh. With our family contributing to Georgia’s deep red color, I can say from unfortunate experience: flu is here EARLY and it’s no fun. Get your flu shots this weekend folks!!!
This is a very thoughtful thread on the importance of and value in structural and institutional investments in public health infrastructure over the long-haul. Can’t just be reactionary anymore.
This analysis is right on about our current state of pandemic preparedness, both in the US & globally.
We currently rely on being reactive rather than proactive, and there's little appetite for solving the massive structural weaknesses in our public health systems.
When you work with staff or students who consistently come up with creative ideas for improving your program(s), you’ve hit the jackpot. My theme for this week…….for which I am very grateful. 🙏 @ECRC_
But to also use our resources and platform to say thanks…to start shining lights on practitioners who do so much with so little praise…that is a gap academia can certainly help fill. And so glad last month we did. 😊
Last month, we took time in our August fellows retreat to acknowledge excellence. Excellence in public health practice; excellence among local public health practitioners in Georgia.
The @ECRC_ was started in 2020 to put our academic resources into the service of our @GaDPH and #LHD partners in GA for pandemic response. Through our programs and projects, I hope we have helped.
