National Public Health Information Coalition (NPHIC)

MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRIVILEGES

Access to Member Only Communication Resources

NPHIC members enjoy ready access to a wealth of resources and materials through various in-house and affiliate partner communication channels. As a NPHIC member, you are invited to participate in the monthly CDC/NPHIC partner calls to engage directly with CDC subject-matter-experts on important public health communication issues.

One of the more popular benefits is the sharing of communication assets and other critical information among our network of members including press releases, fact sheets, social media posts, communication campaigns and much more.

Our bi-monthly e-newsletter offers in-depth articles about NPHIC projects, org developments, and insights on how agencies have managed public health challenges.

NPHIC: It’s where we received some of our most valuable information

Amy Thoreson | Scott Country Health Dept, Davenport, IA

We regard NPHIC as the best $75.00 for a membership that we spend within our Department. The advance notice of information being developed or released is invaluable. NPHIC was the first place that we heard about what would become H1N1, and it was also where we received some of our most valuable information

Communication assistance from NPHIC saved me time and kept me up to date

Genalee Alexander | Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services, Columbia, MO

The talking points I received throughout the H1N1 response were invaluable. At a time when our department of ONE was doing up to fi ve media interviews a day, the communication assistance provided by NPHIC not only saved me time, but I was confi dent that those talking points were the most up-to-date available.

NPHIC is instrumental in helping local departments prepare for media onslaught

Jeff Hershberger. |. Kansas City Health Department, Kansas City, MO

Very briefl y, NPHIC’s assistance with providing us embargoed reports, news releases and talking points from the CDC, HHS and other national and regional public health organizations has been immensely helpful over the years, and has been instrumental in helping those of us at the local health department level prepare for the media onslaught that sometimes ensues.

NPHIC: It’s like having a full staff of creators and designers on board

Holly Funkhouser Cucuzzella | Burlington County (NJ) Health Department, Westampton, NJ

The materials shared on the NPHIC website are always a great resource. I work for a small county health department with very limited resources. So, access to these is like having a full staff of creators and designers on board.

Benefi ts of NPHIC membership impressed my boss and co-workers

Monique C. Davis | Hudson Regional Health Commission, Secaucus, NJ

The greatest advantage that NPHIC has provided me with, specifi cally during H1N1, is access to the CDC media briefi ngs. The briefi ngs allowed me to QUICKLY share the most current and accurate information on the outbreak, often before other listserves, etc. were pushing information out. My co-workers and boss were very impressed with the rapidity of the messages received by and through my affi liation with NPHIC.

NPHIC: It’s like having another person in the fi eld collecting/sharing information

Laurie Boston | Southwest District Health, Caldwell, ID

I cannot stress enough how important NPHIC was to a small health district in Idaho during the H1N1 outbreak. As we are all short staffed, I felt I had another person working in the fi eld to collect information. It is like the cell phone network ad, it gives you great comfort to know all those people are there to support you if you need it!
