But most water supplies in the U.S. are controlled locally. Laws and ordinances governing water fluoridation are often passed at the community level. \nThese programs are routinely supported by local health officials but they often face strong opposition from detractors whose tactics of sowing fear and doubt can shape media coverage as well as public opinion to the detriment of public health.

There were large differences between some states\, where rates either didn’t decline or rose for certain diseases. The disparities were especially apparent in regions hard hit by the opioid epidemic and in communities that are less economically prosperous. Two public health leaders who are working on the front-lines of the opioid crisis will talk about how they are working to address the impact of social determinants on infectious disease death rates and will provide reporters with ideas on where to find stories in their community. \n\n\nJay Butler\, M.D.\, chief medical officer & public health director\, Alaska Department of Health and Human Services \n\n\nJonathan Mermin\, M.D.\, director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS\, Viral Hepatitis\, STD\, and TB Prevention\, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \n\n\nModerator:  Bara Vaida\, AHCJ core topic leader/infectious diseases \n\n\nJay Butler\, M.D.\, was appointed chief medical officer for the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services and director of the Division of Public Health by Governor Bill Walker in December 2014.

BacteriologyUniversity of Wisconsin\, Ph.D. Cellular and Molecular Biology \nInitially Halfmann wanted to pursue a medical degree after his undergraduate studies\, but he became interested in infectious diseases and viruses\, particularly Ebola virus\, after reading Richard Preston’s “The Hot Zone.” At the beginning of his junior year\, he sought out a lab at the University of Wisconsin that focused its research on virus pathogenesis and discovered the lab of Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka\, a professor at the School of Veterinary Medicine and a world expert on influenza virus. \nAfter being told that influenza viruses were as interesting as Ebola virus\, Halfmann started his career in the Kawaoka group. He was a student research assistant for two years\, then\, after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in bacteriology\, he was a technician for one year before starting graduate school in the Cellular and Molecular Biology program with Dr. Kawaoka as his mentor. Unable to conduct research with authentic Ebola virus in Wisconsin\, Halfmann developed a novel\, biologically-contained Ebola virus as part of his graduate thesis research. The biologically-contained virus resembled authentic Ebola virus\, but could be handled safely under non-biosafety level-4 containment. Besides being an important research tool\, Halfmann demonstrated that the biologically-contained virus could also be used as a whole-virus vaccine to protect against Ebola virus infection. \nIn 2008\, Halfmann earned his Ph.D. and decided to continue his research with Dr. Kawaoka. He received biosafety level-4 training at the NIAID’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories from Dr. Heinz Feldmann. As part of his high containment research\, he continued to evaluate his Ebola vaccine. During the height of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa\, Halfmann established a research lab at 34 Military Hospital in Freetown\, Sierra Leone to examine the body’s responses to Ebola virus infection. Currently\, Halfmann is a Research Associate Professor at the Influenza Research Institute (part of the University of Wisconsin) and manages the Ebola research efforts in the Kawaoka group. With support from the Japanese government\, his vaccine is currently being produced at Waisman Biomanufacturing for a human clinical research trial in Japan. Peter still travels to Sierra Leone to follow-up with Ebola survivors and to conduct surveillance studies to identify neglected and novel viruses circulating in Sierra Leone. \nAbout The Wiley Network \nWiley believes the most successful individuals never stop learning.

They also know that the highest cost for maternity care is when a pre-term infant (those born at less than 39 completed weeks of gestation) is treated in the neonatal intensive care unit. For this reason\, employers nationwide want hospitals to reduce the number of early elective deliveries\, which increase the chances for complications for babies and mothers and and preventing C-sections whenever possible. A maternal complication during delivery adds almost $1\,000 to the cost of care\, while an uncomplicated C-section adds nearly $2\,000 to the bill. \n\n\nSuzanne F.

About 2 million Americans annually contract an antibiotic resistant bacteria and 23\,000 die\, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. \nIn some cases\, resistant bacteria have already meant patients are living in a “post-antibiotic” world. In 2016\, a Nevada woman died after developing an illness from bacteria that were resistant to all approved antibiotics in the U.S. \nHow are these bugs spreading? What is the U.S. doing to halt their spread? And how can reporters cover antibiotic resistance in their communities?

He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. He completed a clinical fellowship in infectious diseases at the University of California\, San Francisco. \nMichael Craig leads the coordination of CDC’s cross-cutting antibiotic resistance activities by developing and guiding CDC’s strategic direction to address national goals to combat antibiotic resistance. Craig serves on the President’s Advisory Committee for Combatting Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB)\, and works closely with leadership within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to align public health activities related to antibiotic resistance across multiple federal agencies.

DESCRIPTION:The Trump administration has told states to expect “more freedom to design programs that meet the spectrum of diverse needs of their Medicaid population.” Section 1115 Medicaid demonstration waivers have been available to states as long as the program has existed\, but each administration takes its own approach to assessing waiver requests.  \nThis presentation will give attendees an understanding of the Medicaid waiver landscape heading into a busy fall\, when precedent-setting decisions are expected on several states’ proposals. Speakers will discuss the kinds of flexibility states have asked for – and are likely to ask for in the coming months and years – and how these changes may affect Medicaid beneficiaries\, state budgets\, and the future of the ACA coverage discussion. \nWhen:\nThursday\, Sept. 14; 1:30-2:45 p.m. ET \nRegister in advance. \nFeaturing:\n\n\nMatt Salo\, executive director\, National Association of Medicaid Directors \n\n\nCindy Mann\, partner\, Manatt Health \n\n\nJohn McCarthy\, founding partner\, Speire Healthcare Strategies \n\n\nJake Harper\, reporter\, WFYI and Side Effects Public Media \n\n\nKarl Eisenhower of the Alliance for Health Policy will moderate the discussion. \n\n\nFollow the webcast on Twitter: #AllHealthLive \nThis webinar is a collaboration between the Alliance for Health Policy and the Association of Health Care Journalists.
