This podcast, the second in a two-part series, continues to explore the concept of "Chief Health Strategist" as a way to address the most pressing public health issues and advance population health activities. This discussion continues the conversation on moving from concept into practice, as well as how to apply ASTHO’s three pillars for population health improvement to support clinical to community connections, improve health equity and the social determinants of health, and utilize public health informatics. Mary Ann Cooney offers examples of this model already at work and tells you where you can get help if you want to move forward in your state.
