Do you find it challenging to convey the impact and value of your public health work to stakeholders? If so, explore our new toolkit, which offers practical strategies public health professionals can use to highlight and communicate the value their work brings to communities.

Designed for real-world use, the toolkit offers a practical definition of public health value, a strategic framework for communicating that value, interactive tools to map programs to stakeholder priorities, and examples that show how to craft compelling messages.

Designed to be shared with colleagues and adapted for training, this toolkit provides strategies public health leaders can use to help stakeholders recognize the value of public health work.
