Dorcey L. Applyrs, DrPH, MPH will provide a brief overview of the public health field and its relevance at this unique moment in history. As the United States grapples with surging COVID-19 cases, unprecedented political discourse, and unrest related to social injustice, public health experts are faced with the challenge of being intentional about the ‘3Ps’ of public health: promotion, prevention, protection. Past and current public health crises and the role of politics in helping or hindering health outcomes also will be discussed.
The lecture will take place virtually from 11 to 1:50 a.m. and can be viewed live on the library’s Facebook page and at https://livestream.com/hvccstreaming/events/9471523
Voices: A Library Lecture Series is offered each semester to broaden and enrich the scope of studies at the college by presenting speakers on timely and enduring issues.
