Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the North Carolina Global Health Alliance's 2024 Conference, where experts explored how NC serves as a microcosm for pressing national and global health challenges, including rural health disparities, workforce shortages, vaccine equity, and the public health impacts of climate change. A key takeaway: “Local is global and global is local." It’s inspiring to see how strategies from around the world can address urgent issues here at home. As communicators, these insights can help us shape narratives advocating for health equity, workforce safety, and community solutions. Thank you to Secretary Kody Kinsley of the NC Department of Health and Human Services, Liz Mallas Law of Gilead Sciences, Suzanne Maman of UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, Lindsey Bickers Bock, MPH of Durham Dept. of Public Health, Mercedes Bravo of Duke Global Health Institute, Peter Cassidy, FACHE of Atrium Health, and many more for the thought-provoking discussions. And a big thank you to NCGHA for hosting!

This past Tuesday, I had the amazing opportunity to attend the North Carolina Global Health Alliance conference in Raleigh. I learned more about the importance of community health workers in rural areas and multigenerational households and their importance in influencing vaccinations, the nursing shortage in North Carolina, and so much more. I cannot wait to be a part of the next generation of Public Health!
