Public Health Policy Responses at the Crossroads of Covid-19 and Chronic Disease
June 18, noon-1 p.m. — hosted on Zoom
Presented by Rachel Callanan, Sr. Staff Attorney, and Julie Ralston Aoki, Director of Healthy Eating & Active Living Programs, from the Public Health Law Center.
As the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates, chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension contribute to health inequities in multiple ways. Attorneys from the Public Health Law Center will discuss the intersection of state and local policy responses to COVID-19 and policies to address chronic disease, focusing on commercial tobacco use, access to healthy food and physical activity policies. This CLE will also explore how communities can learn from this pandemic to develop and advance public health policies to better protect health and support health equity.
If interested please contact the law library at 651-438-8080 or email shannon.stoneking@co.dakota.mn.us.
