The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services used PHIG funding and technical assistance to host the 2024 Long Beach Public Health Conference for over 400 staff, interns, and guests. The Workforce Director, Wellness Coordinator, and Program Evaluator—hired through PHIG investment—played a central role in developing the event with the Region 9 PHIG Hub’s technical assistance, including support in securing expert speakers and sharing in-depth learning resources with attendees. The conference was grounded in the Surgeon General’s Framework for Worker Mental Health and Wellbeing, advancing essential learning in workforce retention and development for Long Beach public health professionals.
