Communicating to Empower

California is committed to addressing public health issues and emerging situations to empower people with the information they need. CDPH is improving how public health information is shared so people can make informed, healthy choices. CDPH is engaging with communities and building better ways to get accurate information to those who need it.

Project Stethoscope

California is the launch partner for Project Stethoscope with Your Local Epidemiologist (YLE) to share health information in a clear and impactful way. CDPH uses Project Stethoscope's community and social media insights to create simple, trustworthy messages that reach people in the ways they prefer to get information.

Community Messenger Network

California is working to strengthen CDPH's statewide network of trusted community partners and local voices. The Community Messenger Network aims to empower community leaders with clear health information and engaging partnerships. Growing these partnerships allows CDPH to share important health information faster and connect with communities that have traditionally been harder to reach.
