Message from the President

John Rouse

First, thank you for the confidence you have all shown in me and the officers for the upcoming year. It will take all of us in the Public Health family to help meet the challenges we face. Pandemic Flu, budget crisis, and declining community health indicators are just a few of the issues that we all face which can have major impacts on our communities.

As we develop our plan of action we will rely on the knowledge and skills that each of you bring. With that said, it is important that you are involved with the work of the NCALHD in the committees, sharing, developing ideas, positions and actions. Help communicate our work to the communities, leadership, and liaisons.

The challenges ahead are many, but one by one and with the help of each other we can rise to meet each of them.

Danny Staley
2010 NCALHD President
