Happy fall! Before we get into all of the trainings we have lined up in the coming months, all of us here at the Community Health Training Institute would first like to extend our condolences and support for all of those affected by the recent tragedies.
Our friends at
Los Ambulantes have put together a
list of resources for those looking to support response and recovery efforts in Puerto Rico. As public health and community health advocates, it's important we work together to help build (and rebuild) resilient communities.
We hope to see you at our trainings!

Health Resources in Action released a statement proposing solutions to addressing the challenges that keep the health care and human services sectors siloed.
"To say it is a pivotal time for health care in the United States is no overstatement. An emphasis on the triple aim of improving population health and quality of care while reducing health care costs is bringing about a paradigm shift in health care and public health spheres. To meet this demand, it is becoming more widely recognized that the health care sector and the social and human services sector must work together to improve health in a real and sustainable way."
