Thank You Notes From Scale Strategic Solutions

As part of a virtual conference, we recently received as a game prize, “Thank You Notes” by Jimmy Fallon and the writers of Late Night. Inspired by the book, we offer our own notes of gratitude for our experiences in 2021.

Thank you, remote teamwork. We can now, more quickly, remember the difference between time zones.

Thank you, virtual backgrounds, for making us softer around the edges.

Thank you, mute button, for ensuring that we think for a moment before we speak—intentionally or unintentionally.

While it is fun to look at our world as a glass half full with all of the adaptations that come from the pandemic, there were many people and many things for which we are sincerely grateful, without any prompts from comedians. We are thankful for:

· Our study participants who took time to share their experience with us in focus groups, interviews, and surveys. We know you didn’t have to do it, and your input is valued.

· Our training participants for taking the time to learn and grow with our support. We wish you continued growth.

· Our initiative partners for letting us facilitate your work to change our world—one step at a time.

· Our clients and their staff members for engaging us and entrusting us to help you achieve your mission.

· Our team members -- employees, subcontractors, and collaborators -- who work tirelessly to meet the needs of our clients and community.

This is only a partial list of so many people and organizations for which we are grateful. Scale Strategic Solutions is filled with gratitude.

Advancing Data Sharing in Public Health

August 19, 2025

In today’s data-driven world, local health departments (LHDs) play a critical role in shaping community health and advancing equity. Yet, to do this effectively, they need more than just national trends, they need access to localized, granular data that reflects the real conditions on the ground. Data sharing is not only a technical challenge but a strategic community-focused practice. When LHDs collaborate with community organizations such as schools, hospitals, social service agencies and law enforcement, they unlock new pathways to address public health challenges more effectively. Local data allows communities to identify emerging health threats, evaluate the impact of programs, and understand how the Social Determinants of Health influence well-being. Scale Strategic Solutions, in partnership with D.E.E.P. Consultants and Strategik513, is proud to announce the development of a robust, strategic roadmap designed to support public health professionals in leveraging data to improve population health outcomes and reduce disparities. Our team of subject matter experts collaborated closely with the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and local health departments to gain firsthand insights into the challenges and opportunities surrounding data sharing practices. This discovery process informed the creation of two key resources aimed at building data capacity in the field. The "Increasing Data Sharing Capacity for Local Health Departments" asynchronous training, alongside the complementary Data Sharing Resource Guide , are now available on NACCHO University , the organization’s online learning platform. At Scale, we are committed to advancing the culture of data sharing within public health ecosystems. These resources were developed to meet practitioners where they are, offering flexible, high-impact tools to drive meaningful improvements in health equity and data-driven decision-making. If your organization is interested in learning more or would benefit from a customized training solution tailored to your specific data sharing needs, we invite you to contact us . Together, we can empower local health leaders with the tools and knowledge needed to transform data into action.
