Improve Your Web Site With CDC Content

CDC Content Syndication allows public health organizations to have CDC Web site content appear automatically on their Web pages. Dozens of state and local health department Web sites currently use this feature, which ensures that they have current information on important public health topics. Fred Smith of the CDC’s Office of the Associate Director for Communication will discuss the benefits of CDC Content Syndication in a Webinar with NPHIC members on Thursday, Sept. 9, 3:00 p.m. (eastern). Join the Webinar and bring your questions about how your Web site can benefit from this important resource. Watch your e-mail for contact information.
