H1N1 Flu Conference Call - September 24th


Community and Faith-based Organizations
and Response to 2009 H1N1 Flu
Thursday, September 24
1:30-2:30 pm EST




Please join us for a conference call with Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, and Director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships Joshua DuBois, as well as HHS & CDC experts to discuss the release of a new resource “H1N1 Flu: A Guide for Community and Faith-based Organizations.” The call will focus on the important role of community and faith-based leaders and organizations as partners in 2009-2010 flu response and prevention. The new guide was developed by the HHS Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships (HHS Partnership Center) with support from the Centers for Disease Control. Speakers will provide the latest information on H1N1 flu and vaccination plans, and an overview of the guide.

You and your organization are crucial leaders and resources in your communities, and essential partners in comprehensive state and local flu response. We want to ensure you and your communities have this resource and the most up-to-date information on H1N1 flu. The HHS Partnership Center will keep an open and dynamic channel of communication throughout the response effort. Following the completion of the call, HHS will send a call summary to their listserv. If you are not part of the HHS listerv, you can join us at www.hhs.gov/partnership, click ‘Join the Mailing List’ under the ‘Newsletter’ box on the right-hand side of your screen.

At the time of the call, copies of the guide will be available for download at http://www.flu.gov/ and at www.hhs.gov/partnership .
