This week I joined the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (@ASTHO)—the national organization representing state and territorial public health agencies—for its Fall Forum Leadership Dialogue. Thank you to ASTHO President Dr. Manisha Juthani for moderating a thoughtful conversation on CDC’s vision and priorities, strengthening our public health infrastructure and workforce, and deepening collaboration across public health agencies. I’m grateful for the opportunity to engage with public health leaders from across the country on the issues shaping the future of state and territorial health.
