Defend Public Health History Group

The Defend Public Health History Group publishes historical perspectives on critical contemporary public health issues. Members are already producing widely-read works that have been published in outlets such as the Urgent Care Substack and the Nursing Clio blog, and we share these the DPH Communications Committee for social media amplification. Members also testify before legislative bodies, contribute to amicus briefs and appear in various media. History group members can assist with historical background and research in support of other DPH members and campaigns, and will amplify their publications.
