Public Health on Pause: The 2025 Government Shutdown and What It Means for You
The U.S. government shut down on October 1, 2025. While politicians argue, public health is paying the price:
- CDC and HHS furloughs slow outbreak surveillance
- WIC funds could run out in weeks
- SNAP families face uncertainty, and SNAP-Ed was just eliminated
- Immigrant families are afraid to seek care, worried about ICE and data sharing
- Flu, measles, whooping cough, and COVID continue to spread
This isn’t just politics. It’s people’s lives. From food security to outbreak control, shutdowns create a ripple effect that leaves families suffering in silence and communities more vulnerable.
Public health doesn’t stop for politics, but politics can stop public health.

🧠 Join the public health community!
Public health needs to take a fresh approach — one rooted in fairness and inclusivity. Picture this: a world where equity isn't just a buzzword, but a guiding principle. Communities are at the heart of decision-making and actively shaping their health, not sidelined. Public health's future is all about teaming up — joining forces with unexpected partners from different sectors and centering community voices. This future is about tearing down barriers, not just fixing problems but preventing them altogether. It's making sure every person has access to the support and care they need for a healthier life.

🧠 Join the public health community!
Unexpected events such as power outages and natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes can happen without a moment’s notice. That is why being ready for emergencies is crucial. Emergency preparedness is exactly what it sounds like; it involves planning, having supplies on hand and knowing how to stay safe during an emergency. Being ready for crises before they happen can not only protect you and your loved ones but also underserved communities where disasters can worsen inequities.

🎯 Learn more about NPHW panels
🧠 Join the public health community!
Public health is all about preventing disease, diagnosing health conditions and encouraging health and well-being. However, achieving these goals wouldn’t be possible without the help of new tools and innovations in public health. From wearable fitness bands to virtual doctors’ appointments, new technology has changed the way individuals and communities receive and respond to health information. Other tools, like warning systems for natural disasters or COVID-19 testing kits, can help individuals stay connected and protected during emergencies. Advancements in public health can help us in the fight towards equity, so all people and populations can thrive.

Climate Change NPHW Panel hosted by The Public Health Millennial
🎯 Learn more about NPHW panels
🧠 Join the public health community!
Climate change is the most pressing threat to human health that our world faces today. Some groups of people, including communities of color and low-income neighborhoods, are disproportionately impacted by climate change. They face decades of limited investment in their health and increased pollution in their neighborhoods. We need swift action to lessen the health impacts of climate change. Now is the time to act. Actions should come from and with communities.

🎯 Learn more about NPHW panels
🧠 Join the public health community!
We know that where we live – where we eat, sleep, work, play, learn and pray – can have a huge effect on our health. But what makes a neighborhood healthy? Having safe places to live, without hazards or pollution. Having safe ways for everyone to be active, like sidewalks, and safe places to bike. Having easy access to fresh, affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food. When our neighborhoods are healthy, we have the building blocks for healthy lives.

Civic engagement NPHW Panel hosted by The Public Health Millennial
🎯 Learn more about the NPHW panels
🧠 Join our public health community
Civic engagement, the actions that we and our communities take to identify and address problems, shapes our opportunities to be healthy. By taking actions to get more civically engaged, like voting, we exercise our right to make decisions about our communities, like whether our neighborhoods have walkable sidewalks, how much funding goes to reproductive health clinics in our states and how prepared the nation’s infrastructure is for future pandemics and disasters.

The takeaways are:
- Learn all you can
- Start early in your job/fellowship search
- Make sure you do your research
- Go above and beyond
- Stretch yourself
- Have fun

In today's episode, a repost from the Redefining Rest for Public Health Professionals Podcast, I talk about how I rest and my journey with rest. This is a great episode for students or professionals as I talk about what rest has looked like for me during these two phases.
Some highlights from the conversation are:
🌟 Mindfully assessing opportunity cost of choices and choosing those that move us closest to the desired outcome
🌟 Focusing on small tasks & celebrating small wins rather than grand gestures
🌟 How I prioritize staying active "often" and different ways this could look like
🌟 Un-committing from things that we think are nurturing us but turn out not to be
🌟 Making time for self-reflection is essential

Hermela Assefa is a Public Health student in the sociology tract at Franklin & Marshall College.
Hermela is an aspiring public health professional who is problem-inspired, people-driven, and equity-minded. She is determined to serve underprivileged communities to alleviate systemic inequities, racial injustices, and tackle the social determinants of health. She strongly believe that access to quality healthcare should not be a privilege and she strives to develop culturally sensitive and robust solutions that advance health equity in all the work that she does.
Growing up an Ethiopian immigrant in a low-income community, she has witnessed numerous medical emergencies and conditions that were preventable. Even among those who seek care, culturally competent and patient-centered care is not accessible. This reality transcends globally which develops my passion to work in an interdisciplinary field that focuses on population-level health impacts. Hermela's role as a community leader with Habesha Health has given me the ability to educate, empower, and mobilize my family and community members to improve their health.
Hermela's future goals, though not fully realized, will be aimed at working with underserved populations to eradicate racial health disparities and increase access to quality health resources while empowering and equipping communities to thrive. As she enters her senior year, she is open to learning more about opportunities in public health focused on developing my skill set around public health interventions and community-centered solutions driven by health equity.
We chat about Hermela's public health journey thus far as well as:
- CDC CUPS Scholar with the University of Michigan Future Public Health Leaderships
- Being proactive in seeking opportunities (Habesha Health)
- Becoming a Doula as an undergraduate

In this episode, I dive into my perspective on the 2020 elections and what we need to do going forward. To set the record straight, I am neither a Republican or a Democrat - rather I see myself as opting for people who push policies to better populations lives. I talk about why I initially never really liked Obama and why I think he could have done a lot more as the first Black president of the USA. I chat about Muammar al-Gadaffi and how he was a prosperous leader for his people, but was killed by the Obama administration - I am not saying he did no wrong; but he did do a lot of great. I talk about what Obama did well, what he could have done more of. I chat a little about the broken policing system and how tax payers (especially the most disenfranchised and over-policed) are paying for the deaths of these lovely black people while banks are making profits off of them via police brutality bonds. Lastly, I talk about who I thought would have been the best US President in this time and why I believe he had an extraordinary public health framework and share two of his policies that I think need to be implemented going forward.
