We had a fantastic day yesterday at the 2023 WSPHA Legislative Education day! A group of junior and senior LW Tech public health students, along with program director Dr. Gayle Shimokura had the opportunity to hear from leaders in Washington State public health about critical public health legislation and policy priorities. We then got to meet with legislators and legislative assistants in multiple districts to educate them on these vital public health issues. Thank you to Jeff Ketchel, President of WSPHA, and Dr. Shimokura for this educational opportunity! WSPHA: Washington State Public Health Association Washington State Department of Health
