The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is pleased to provide several educational offerings on current and emerging issues in public health.  This is a joint initiative brought to you by the Director’s Office and the Office of Communications at IDPH. As a state agency, our mission is to advocate for and partner with the people of Illinois to re-envision health policy and promote health equity, prevent, and protect against disease and injury, as well as prepare for health emergencies. Our work is made possible because of health care professionals and champions like you who are front and center every day working on behalf of individuals, patients, and communities. We hope you will find our information helpful as we work together to advance the health and wellbeing of Illinoisians.
