Strengthening Community Connections
![]()
In this webinar, Dr. Kate Mulligan will share research and recommendations from a report commissioned by the Office of the Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO) at the Public Health Agency of Canada to inform the 2021 annual CPHO report. The research presentation will be followed by a conversation with leaders in community health and public health on what we can learn from promising public health-community partnerships that were established during the pandemic, and how they could be extended beyond it.
This webinar will be of interest to community and public health leaders as well as community organizers and those interested in engagement.
Dr. Kate Mulligan is a status Assistant Professor in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. Her work focuses on community and public health leadership through policy, advocacy and intervention research related to health equity and the social determinants of health. She is also Senior Director of the newly-launched Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing. Kate's commissioned paper on Strengthening Community Connections, published by NCCDH, provided guidance to the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada's 2021 Annual Report.
