Join Upcoming Academic Health Department Partnership Ask Me Anything Webinar

In collaboration with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, the Public Health Foundation (PHF) and Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice will be sharing expertise on academic health department (AHD) partnerships through an upcoming webinar, Ask Me Anything: Academic Health Department Partnerships, on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 from 2-3pm EST. Through this webinar, participants will gain a foundational understanding of AHD partnerships, with an introduction to the new AHD Partnerships Toolkit designed to support the development and sustainability of these partnerships. Then, the floor will open for your questions! Whether you’re just getting started or looking to strengthen an existing partnership, this is your chance to ask us anything about AHD partnerships.
