Program Resources

In partnership with over 200 community-rooted organizations, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and Desautel Hege (DH) have compiled a bank of COVID-19 and public health resources, campaign materials and partner assets for use in community-driven public health outreach efforts.

COVID-19 Community Driven Outreach (CDO) Program

CDO Program Overview

DOH launched the CDO Program in November 2022. This program aims to improve COVID-19 information and vaccine access, develop meaningful, culturally relevant and linguistically appropriate public health communications and invest in and growing existing communications infrastructure in Washington state. Through the CDO Program, DOH is partnering with a variety of community-based organizations and community media outlets to increase the reach and impact of public health messaging.
