Twitter Chat 2/28: Learn How CDC Protects People Around the Globe from Public Health Threats

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. Join CDC Director Dr. Frieden for a live Twitter chat about CDC’s 24/7 work around the globe to protect people from health threats.     CDC works to help build capacity and strengthen a country’s ability to improve global health security. A memorable example of global health security in action is CDC’s work with the Haitian Ministry of Public Health and Population and our partners to rebuild and strengthen the country’s public health systems following the devastating January 2010 earthquake. Almost 300 CDC scientists and other staff have deployed to Haiti to assist with disease and injury surveillance, strengthen Haiti's laboratory capacity, develop and implement clinical and community health training, and respond to the cholera outbreak in Haiti.   Dr. Frieden will be joined by an expert from CDC’s Center for Global Health to discuss the public health achievements in Haiti over the past three years, and answer your questions about how CDC’s work around the world protects the American people from health threats, wherever they arise.   When: Thursday, February 28th, 1:00-2:00PM EST   Join the conversation: Follow Dr. Frieden on Twitter @DrFriedenCDC  and use the hashtag #CDCchat to participate.   For more information, visit: http://www.cdc.gov/features/twitterchat/         Modify/Update Subscriber Preferences  |  Unsubscribe  |  Send Feedback  |  Learn more about CDC Email Updates To receive the latest news for your region, please update your profile with your country, state and zip code.
