About Team Public Health

The “Team Public Health” blog focuses on sharing lasting insights from the public health team practice. We aspire to become learning, healing, and impactful teams and organizations that develop our people to tackle key public health challenges (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Becoming a learning, healing, and impacted organization.

There are many great blogs/newsletters that focus on events of the day.1 This blog will focus on insights, concepts, methods, and practices that are always relevant and applicable today and in the future.

At the end of the day, we want

  • to learn and get better,

  • to prevent harm and promote healing, and

  • to make a difference and have impact.

Figure 2 displays my/our theory of change based on my work and experience in public health practice, and most recently at the California Department of Public Health.
