To all, from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health

New Website for Health Communication Professionals Offers Information,
Materials, Networks, and Project Details; Health Communication Partnership
Launches Interactive Site

BALTIMORE -  Health communication professionals looking for information,
materials, and links to the latest thinking on strategic communication
related to HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, child survival, maternal health,
infectious disease, and democracy and governance for health now have a new
resource at their fingertips.

The Health Communication Partnership (HCP) just launched its website
(www.hcpartnership.org) to help those working globally to strengthen public
health through strategic communication programs. The HCP website offers
late-breaking lessons learned from field programs worldwide.

HCP is a team of five leading institutions led by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg
School of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs (CCP) and
supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

The website also provides forums for those working with HCP or in the field
of health communication, advocacy, and community mobilization to share and
learn from other similar programs.

In addition, the HCP website features the Media/Materials Clearinghouse
(M/MC), an international resource for those interested in health
communication materials; the Health Communication Materials Database (HCMD),
the world's largest, most comprehensive collection of health communication
materials categorized by subject, country, medium, language, or producer;
and the Health Communication Materials Network (HCMN), a network of health
communication specialists sharing  ideas, information, and samples of health
communication materials. Each day, the HCP website spotlights a different
example of a health communication material from the M/MC's collection.

HCP is a global communication initiative led by Johns Hopkins' CCP in
partnership with the Academy for Educational Development, Save the Children,
the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, and Tulane University's School of
Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

In addition to the five core partners, HCP works with leading Southern-based
health communication organizations as well as global programming partners
from the corporate sector, international media, academic institutions, and
faith-based organizations. For a full list of HCP partners and
collaborators, visit www.hcpartnership.org.
