NPHL Issues Three New Public Health Resources
The Network for Public Health Law (NPHL) has issued three new public health resources that can be read and accessed below.
Turning to the States During a Time of Federal Transition
It has become increasingly important for public health to navigate the disruptiveness of a capricious political climate. The recently released 50 State Scans of Public Health Advocacy Capacity report provides valuable information for advocates, practitioners, policymakers, and funders to identify partners who can work together and leverage their collective resources to achieve large-scale positive—and equitable—health outcomes for communities.
Recent updates to the Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records regulations at 42 CFR Part 2 are significant and will affect the operations of every Part 2 program and provider. This resource provides practitioners and public health officials with a deeper understanding of the updates to Part 2.
The Role of Law in Defining Your Public Health Job
This Webinar, held October 17, 2024, discussed how the law can provide guidance in defining public health work. Colleagues discussed how they are navigating a challenging post-pandemic landscape and how the way in which we approach our work shapes public health practice, the law that governs our practice, and the public’s health.
