ab32publichealth -- October 13 Climate Action Team Public Health Workgroup Meeting (New Team)

Posted: 10 Sep 2015 10:07:01
Greetings CAT Public Health Work Group participants!. 

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Climate and
Health Team has been in transition, and will resume meetings of
the CAT Public Health Work Group (PHWG) again this fall on
Tuesday, October 13 from 1-4pm.

The upcoming October meeting will focus on adaptation planning
with local health departments and community partners to weather
the health impacts of climate change.  A detailed agenda will be
forthcoming soon.

The Climate and Health Team said a fond and grateful farewell to
Dr. Neil Maizlish when he retired in the spring (though he will
continue to work in the field), and Brooke Sommerfeldt’s last day
with CDPH is October 2nd.

New Team
Linda Helland, MPH, CPH, and Dan Woo, MS, MPH, have recently
joined the CDPH Office of Health Equity, Climate and Health Team,
and will coordinate the PHWG quarterly meetings. Linda serves as
the lead for the Climate and Health Team.  

Linda spent 15 years at Mendocino County Public Health, most
recently as Senior Program Manager for the Prevention and
Planning Unit, where she oversaw 16 programs and 14 staff members
working with community coalitions on upstream preventive public
health programs and policy development to make the healthy choice
a little bit easier and to prevent illness before it starts. 
Linda obtained her BA from Earlham College, her MPH from San Jose
State University, and a certificate in Land Use & Environmental
Planning from UC Davis Extension. Linda is thrilled to do work
that combines her two passions of health equity and climate
change.

Dan brings a decade of experience in the planning and design
fields, with focus on sustainability in the built environment.
Dan's interests center on determining how our physical and social
environments can promote long term public and ecological health
through policy, planning, and design, with particular emphasis on
addressing the health impacts of climate change. Dan also brings
experience in climate and health communication, with expertise in
graphics and visualization. Dan holds a BS in Design and
Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning, an MS in Community
Development, and an MPH, all from UC Davis, and is a LEED
Accredited Professional for neighborhood development and building
design and construction. 

Dan is the contact for the CAT Public Health Work Group. He can
be reached at Daniel.Woo@cdph.ca.gov or (510) 620-5934.

We look forward to engaging with colleagues, the interested
public and list-serve subscribers in upcoming PHWG meetings.
