Developing partnerships between public health and the private sector is critical to enhancing not just the well-being of employees, but the community and population as a whole. This webinar will help State Health Departments understand the value of partnering with businesses, how to find them, and how to effectively communicate with these groups. State Health Departments will also learn about CDC’s 6|18 initiative, an effort to improve health and control healthcare costs by targeting six common health conditions and behaviors. Attendees will gain strategies and resources they can use and customize when connecting and collaborating with employers.
