Happy Friday! Time for our weekly rundown of interesting pieces of news and more from our team at MCN.
Maps, maps, maps: Ricardo, Health Network Manager, found this new map visualizing the health profile of every county in the US, which notes that “40% of counties are going backwards [2].”
Charlotte, Development Coordinator, responded with a link to this map with county health ratings [3].
Ricardo added one more map to the list, which shows which is the deadliest infectious disease for each country of the world [4].
Speaking of health, Kerry, our Environmental and Occupational Health Program Associate, signed onto Pesticide Action Network's petition [5] supporting the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's recommendation to include sustainability in the 2015 US Dietary Guidelines. She says she’s “excited to see a public/environmental health angle on nutrition happening on a broader scale.”
From Theressa,Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator: “National Center for Farmworker Health is continuing its webinar series [6] on Health Center Requirements, on April 16th, with its eighth installment on Quality Improvement/Quality Assurance, co-presented by MCN’s own Candace Kugel!”
