Episode: Public Health Workers Are NOT Okay with Elizabeth Holzschuh
Description: It’s been a long three years since the COVID-19 pandemic began. And though the pandemic isn’t over — the public health workforce feels done. Public health departments around the country are facing low morale, high vacancy, and a workload that doesn’t want to ease up.
