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 11:50 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.
