    1180: Building Stronger Community Connections for Healthy Aging

    As America's population ages, preventing falls is becoming one of public health's most urgent challenges. In this episode, Amy Ciarlo, senior analyst for Chronic Disease Risk Factors at ASTHO, talks about why fall prevention requires more than clinical care alone. She discusses how the CDC's STEADI framework helps healthcare providers identify and reduce fall risk, why tai chi and evidence-based community programs A Matter of Balance are essential partners in prevention, and how stronger connections between healthcare systems and community organizations can create lasting improvements.

    1178: Lessons from Michigan's Cyclospora Outbreak Response

    Timely, transparent communication can shape the course of a public health emergency long before every answer is known. In this episode, Chief Medical Executive for the State of Michigan, and ASTHO member, Natasha Bagdasarian, tells us about Michigan's response to one of the nation's largest cyclospora outbreaks. She explains how state officials used early surveillance data to warn the public before a product recall was issued, worked closely with health care systems to expand testing capacity, and tailored public messaging to Michigan's unique outbreak. Dr. Bagdasarian also reflects on the challenges of coordinating across state and federal partners, the importance of communicating uncertainty with honesty, and how proactive public health messaging helped reduce illness while strengthening trust during a rapidly evolving outbreak.Tracking Cyclosporiasis: Understanding the Current Outbreak, Case Investigations, and Prevention Efforts | ASTHO Take Action | ASTHO

    1177: Bonus Episode: How ELC Built the Infrastructure Behind Modern Infectious Disease Response

    The Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) program has become one of the nation's most important investments in infectious disease preparedness, strengthening the workforce, laboratory capacity, and data systems that health departments rely on every day. In this bonus, long form episode, ASTHO President and Connecticut Department of Public Health Commissioner Manisha Juthani explains how ELC funding helped build a disease-agnostic data platform that gives local health departments real-time surveillance data. Michigan's Deputy State Epidemiologist Joseph Coyle discusses how ELC supports the specialized workforce, laboratory testing, and IT infrastructure needed to detect outbreaks, track emerging threats, and respond more quickly. Finally, CDC's Alvin Shultz traces the evolution of the ELC program over three decades, highlighting how flexible funding, strong governance, and cross-sector collaboration have created a national infectious disease response system that is ready for whatever comes next.
