Sophia, Sam and the Rockport Health Director (Ray Cahill, Left), had a very insightful and inspiring week at MHOA! Some of the sessions we attended included:
Data Strategies for Stronger Communities
Recognizing and Responding to Animal Cruelty: A Collaborative Approach for Health Officers
Foodborne Illness Complaints for Inspectors: An introduction to Report My Meal complaint intake to investigatory follow-up
Crafting a message with impact: Public health messages with a heart
Emergency Food Pantry Response to SNAP Cuts in Methuen, MA
Navigating Artificial Intelligence in MA Local Public Health: Successes, Challenges, and the Road Ahead
Evaluating a Fourth-Tier Public Health Response System: Insights from Northampton’s Division of Community Care (DCC)
From Care to Coverage: Bridging Healthcare Access Gaps through a Municipal Free Medical Program
And more!
We are excited to apply some of the new concepts we learned at the conference to our own SSA and communities. We’re already looking forward to next year!
