Public Health Emergency Preparedness Interest Form |
Project Introduction
The Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP) is seeking testimonials and stories about the personal and/or professional impact(s) of public health emergencies
Through a project funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), AMCHP aims to enhance the capabilities of agencies who intersect with maternal and child health (MCH) populations to engage more actively in public health emergency response efforts. This priority predated the COVID-19 pandemic, but the need and demand for information, training, and support has exponentially increased since early 2020. Our project will result in a web accessible collection that includes real-life stories, case studies, tools, etc. that identify characteristics of systems that are prepared to deliver an equity-centered and evidenced-based emergency response. These components will be organized in such a way that they recognize the importance of leadership at all levels.
Sharing your authentic experiences, and impactful and important efforts will enhance the capabilities of agencies who serve MCH populations and help guide their (and others’) use of existing resources and implementation of best practices in their communities.
