PHLSA

Thank you to everyone that came out for the panel and networking event last night. Thank you also to all of our panelists and faculty members who assisted us. We look forward to our upcoming events in the spring.

Good morning!

PHLSA is looking forward to the event on Thursday evening. As of right now, we are continuing to monitor the weather and if any changes are made we will update everyone immediately.

Come out for the PHLSA meet and greet social!

After tonight's shooting at UNC Charlotte, we can only pass along the words of Interim Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz: Our hearts are breaking for our friends and colleagues. The end of the school year should be a time of celebration, not grief. For our UNC-Chapel Hill community, resources are available if you need support. https://caps.unc.edu

Yesterday evening in honor of National Public Health Week, we worked with about 50 volunteers to assemble 1800 naloxone kits to be distributed through the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition across the state! We couldn't have done it without great collaborators and hard workers. This is public health at work.

Thank you to the wonderful collaborators we worked with to put on such an educational and fulfilling event!

And don't forget: tomorrow at 5:00 PM in the Michael Ho**er Research Center lower atrium we will be holding a naloxone training in honor of National Public Health Week! Come join us.

Yesterday, in honor of National Public Health Week, students from UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health hosted an event on the importance of interprofessional education and practice in addressing the opioid epidemic.

Students from across campus came to hear panelists discuss their interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts, including representatives from IPRC and NC Department of Health and Human Services. Thanks to everyone who made the event such a success!

Next week is National Public Health Week! There will be many activities held at Gillings. We would like to encourage everyone to attend as many as possible.
