Описание: In this special monthly edition, we go beyond the headlines to bring you in-depth conversations, practical guidance, and a behind-the-scenes look at the work happening every day at your local public health department.

This episode features three segments:

What's Public Health Got to Do With It?

Back in November, Larimer County voters passed Proposition 1B, creating a new sales tax to support early childhood care and education. Liz Means, Chief Strategy Officer at Northern Colorado Kids Thrive, joins us to talk about the passage and implementation of this new sales tax and how early childhood education relates to public health.

Community Questions
