The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with three national partners - the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI), and the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) have launched the Data Modernization Implementation Center Program to support state, local, territorial, and freely associated public health agencies with the adoption of the latest health IT standards and data exchange networks. The overarching goal of the program is to improve the timely prevention and detection of public health threats by reducing the burden of data exchange between public health agencies, health care, and the communities they serve. Implementation Centers will provide resources and support to public health agencies for implementation activities. To be considered for Wave 1 (2024) of the Implementation Center Program, public health agencies must complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) form by October 15, 2024. Office hours are available on the following dates: - Wednesday, September 11, 2024, from 3 - 4 PM ET - Monday, September 16, 2024, from 12 - 1 PM ET - Thursday, September 26, 2024, from 4 - 5 PM ET To learn more about the program, the EOI process, and the link for office hours, visit: https://lnkd.in/diyDsm9v

Webinar: Health Equity in Emergency Preparedness and Response, Office of Health Equity Partner Webinar Series Wednesday, October 23, 2024 3:00–4:30pm ET Register here: https://lnkd.in/eNZmWVRP When preparing and responding to emergencies, it is crucial to embed health equity from the start to ensure that all people have equal access to life-saving information, services, and programs. Emergencies, such as a natural disaster or a pandemic, can have devastating impacts on whole communities. People in racial and ethnic minority communities, people with disabilities, people living in geographically isolated areas, and other groups often face systemic barriers and health disparities that are exacerbated during an emergency. Join CDC’s Office of Health Equity (OHE) and partners to learn about the importance of health equity in emergency response and preparedness. OHE and CDC’s Office of Readiness and Response will present on its emergency response work, including the establishment of the Chief Health Equity Officer (CHEO) unit in CDC emergency responses. Additional presenters include subject matter experts from Choose Healthy Life, Southern Plains Tribal Health Board, and National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS). #HealthEquity #EmergencyResponse
