In 2024, Alabama’s Department of Public Health hired four District Recruiting Specialists with PHIG support, marking a key advancement in local staffing. This initiative is vital for addressing workforce gaps in small towns, enabling targeted recruitment that meets local needs. The result has been a 46% increase in page views for job opportunities and a significant boost in recruitment content across social media. PHIG funding enhanced these efforts through promotional materials and the support of evaluation and communications specialists, ultimately strengthening public health infrastructure and service delivery statewide.
