National Association of Counties
Mark your calendars for County Health Day on Thursday, April 16. County Health Day is an opportunity for counties to engage with each other through social media on health-related topics. This year, NACo will highlight county solutions and novel approaches to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Throughout the day, share relevant links, photos, program descriptions and stories that capture the impact of and response to COVID-19 in your communities. Inspire and connect with other county leaders on Twitter and Facebook using our County Health Day hashtag (#CountyHealth).
@NACoTweets will hold a Twitter chat on April 16 at 1 PM ET to engage counties in how they are building healthy communities. This dynamic discussion will emphasize the county role in emergency management and preparedness and public health response. We encourage cross-sector discussion of the challenges and best practices associated with addressing an infectious outbreak at the local level.
Participation is easy! @NACoTweets will guide the discussion around a series of questions labeled Q1, Q2, Q3, etc. Respond to the questions using the hashtag (#CountyHealth) and the corresponding A1, A2, A3, etc. for each answer.
