1234: Public Health Hot Topics: Measles, Flexible Funding, and the Future of Public Health

State and territorial health officials are navigating renewed measles outbreaks, uncertainty around federal funding, and questions about how to sustain essential public health services. In this episode, Daniel Edney, new ASTHO president and Mississippi's state health officer, discusses several hot topics health officials raised during ASTHO’s recent Fall Leadership Forum. Topics include the importance of flexible funding through the Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG), strategies for responding to measles and addressing vaccine misinformation, and preparing for potential funding reductions. The conversation also explores how states are diversifying resources, communicating with communities, and learning from one another.
