Communicating about COVID-19
We created and compiled resources to help public health advocates, staff in local health departments, and others communicate more effectively about COVID-19 and how it intersects with other important public health issues.
Many thanks to the Blue Shield of California Foundation and The California Wellness Foundation for supporting our work in responding to the coronavirus pandemic and to The California Endowment and Kresge Foundation for their flexibility as priorities shift to address the crisis.
