    Wondering if folks saw this CBS feature on the PH system and workforce?
    "Public health workers are unsung heroes!" :)
    How public health works - and why it sometimes doesn't 

    <raw html="Workers on the frontlines of public health have a lot on their plate, from eliminating disease, reducing workplace injuries, and ensuring clean water and better sanitation, to keeping our food safe to eat. But a patchwork of reporting systems across the country isn't always effective, and public health officials – under-funded and short-staffed – face the added hazard of hate mail from the public just for doing their job. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jonathan LaPook reports on a "brain drain" that threatens our nation's health security.">Workers on the frontlines of public health have a lot on their plate, from eliminating disease, reducing workplace injuries, and ensuring clean water and better sanitation, to keeping our food safe to eat.

    Thank you for sharing this Lisa! Public health workers surely are unsung heroes working non-stop behind the scenes to protect the public.
