Presentation
This presentation will feature:
During public health emergencies and economically challenging times, community and faith-based organizations can play a critical role reaching out to those most-in-need, providing essential information and resources. Your help is needed as we work together to ensure hard-to-reach populations receive H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccinations in the coming months, and/or access needed human services programs.
As such, the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS) invites you, and those you serve, to one of two regional conference calls on Dec. 15 or Jan. 11.
