Can we offer a training or resource table for your community?

We offer information and materials on the latest, current public health hazards such as severe winter storms, respiratory viruses like seasonal flu, COVID and RSV, utility assistance and other essential resources and services for the public.

It’s a great way to share public health resources, answer questions, and explore how we can work together to help our neighbors, families, clients and colleagues stay safe and informed.

Reach out for:

• Virtual or in-person trainings

• Resource tables
