We are public health
We are public health is a monthly e-postcard that highlights and celebrates the many accomplishments of public health throughout our six-state region (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming). These e-postcards share public health success stories ranging from the public health laboratory in Wyoming to a volunteer dental program for kids in Idaho. We heard from partners in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming—and it was fantastic.
Now, NWCPHP is pleased to make these e-postcards available as posters. The posters are 27" by 18" and will ship in a protective tube. The cost for the first poster in a shipment is $20. Each subsequent poster included in the shipment will cost $15 each. Interested in more information click here
