PHEC 437: Meeting People Where They Are

PHEC 437: Meeting People Where They Are

How do you explain the invisible work of public health to your friends and family without using academic jargon? In this engaging installment of the "What Is Public Health?" series, Dr. Charlotte Huntley welcomes Ashley Harris, a recent MPH graduate and health advocate, and Dr. Eboni Haynes, CEO of The Mahogany Group, to discuss the art of plain-language communication and the vital importance of community buy-in. Moving beyond textbook definitions, the guests share relatable metaphors to demystify the field: Ashley describes public health as a "multifaceted superhero" working quietly in the background to prioritize proactive care over reactive treatment, using the tangible reality of built environments like counting liquor stores versus grocery stores to make the concept click for non-experts. Dr. Haynes expands the conversation to the powerful intersection of faith and public health, sharing insights on bridging the gap between healthcare systems and congregations to build trust and utilize data within ministry. Tune in to discover why public health is the essential "through line" in everything we do and learn how to advocate for the resources that protect our shared future.
