We’re sharing the latest insights from our Lunch and Learn series for CH staff! This month, our own Sarah Pomerantz and Henry Doherty led us in an exploration of the local #PublicHealth data landscape, including stakeholders and audiences, barriers to integrating multiple data systems, and how designing and sharing local data and tools can drive #HealthEquity.
