Description:

This year has been a landmark year for public health policy in the City of Chicago. In fact, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) won the National Association of County and City Health Official’s “Local Health Department of the Year” award. This prestigious honor was bestowed upon CDPH in part because of their efforts to create innovative policy solutions to curb tobacco use among youth.

Kendall Stagg, Chief of Policy and Senior Advisor to the Commissioner, will share concrete examples of how academic partners assisted with policy research, development, and evaluation related to the City of Chicago’s recent portfolio of groundbreaking tobacco control initiatives.

Participants will be invited to discuss how strong academic partnerships and recent lessons learned in tobacco control policy efforts can be applied to other Healthy Chicago priorities such as obesity prevention, cancer disparities, etc.

 

Following Kendall's presentation, Karen Reitan, Executive Director of the Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago, and Margie Schaps, Executive Director of the Health and Medicine Policy Research Group, will also speak about their organizations and how they collaborate with researchers on policy development.

 

The session is open to all academic and community partners from across Chicagoland. There will be time for networking. Light refreshments will be served. Parking will be validated.
