  • Where are you right now?

    I’ve loved this show for years, and I am concerned about so much of our federally funded public health infrastructure being gutted from this administration. If this isn’t the #1 public health topic in this country right now then I’d really like an explanation about why

  • Posted All Three Episodes at Once!

    Didn’t have to wait for subsequent episodes about oximeter defects and analysis of reasons why this has occurred. So smart. I have learned so much good science and policies from this podcast. Best practices in public healthcare always presented.

  • Great topical and timely resource!

    I stumbled upon it and I have been hooked ever since. I look forward to hearing every single episode and I always come away with more knowledge, greater understanding, and more inspiration. Public Health On Call should be on the “reading list” of anyone who is remotely interested in public health and any person who cares about people, animals, and planetary health! Could not recommend it more! 👏🫶🏼
